It's okay to feel like you are failing as a mom. Because she doesn’t live upto society’s expectations, a mother can feel like she has failed her children. The first step in overcoming the feeling of failure as a parent is to define your values and what you expect of yourself and your family. This will allow you to identify what your child needs.

You did nothing wrong
The phrase "you didn't do anything wrong as a mom" is often associated with guilt and shame. It reinforces the expectations of good parenting and the Biblical Commandment not to judge your children. Even in healthy families, favoritism can be a common problem. It's a psychological condition known Parental Differential Treat (PDT) that affects the children of a couple in many different ways.

You aren't a failed mom
Although feeling like a failing mother is normal, it doesn't mean you have to feel this way. Try changing your behavior if feeling defeated. Instead of dwelling on your feelings, think about your accomplishments. You don't need to be a mother failure. You have the potential to learn from your emotions. You can improve your parenting by understanding and recognising your feelings.

Which parenting style do you think is most appropriate in America today?
Because of the changing nature of families, the traditional family unit is less popular than it was 50 years back. Parents have become less involved in raising children. They are more interested in spending their time doing other things than with their children. This is helicopter parenting. It's when parents hover over their kids 24/7. They supervise their kids at all times. They ensure that their children are healthy and fit. This kind of parenting can create a lot of stress both for the kids and their parents. Parents feel guilty for not being there all the time, and kids feel they are missing out on their childhood experiences.
The problem with this parenting style is that it doesn't teach kids how take care of themselves. They learn to depend on others for everything. Instead of teaching independence, parents are teaching dependence. Children learn that success requires adult help. Children learn that if they fail, they can blame themselves.
This leads to kids who grow up feeling inadequate and worthless. They feel they are failing because they haven't lived up to their potential. Because they didn't learn how to cope with failure, they lack self-confidence.
Another reason this parenting style isn't as popular is the decrease in two-parent households. Parents who work from home can find it difficult to be available for their children if both of them are working. Many parents have to raise their kids by themselves.
Most parents want their children to be happy and healthy. They don't want to worry about their kids getting enough sleep, eating well, or exercising. They want to put their efforts into their own lives. That's why they hire nannies, tutors, and other caregivers to watch after their kids.
They don't want their children to be in complete control of every aspect of their lives. They don't want their kids to think they can never make mistakes. They want them to learn from their mistakes and try again.
Is it better not to be strict?
It is important to be a strict parent. It's essential that children learn how behave. If they don't behave, they should be disciplined.
You have to teach them how to act properly. You don't want your children to get out of control. They might hurt someone.
You will discover that it is harder to be a strict parent than a permissive parent. If you allow your children too much freedom, they will rebel against you.
If you give them too much freedom they won't be able to control their behavior.
Being a strict parent can be hard, but I believe it's well worth it.
