as has been said caring for other peoples children is never the same,everyone brings their kids up differently,maybe if you had left him to climb the stairs and eat the remotes etc you might not have made such a good mum but you were clearly doing what was best for him and protecting and caring for him,your gona make a FAB mother,dont give up or get down stick at it.

I agree with everyone else, I don't think this has anything to do with your ability for being a very very good mum. I reckon it has more to do with having a child proof house.

Children usually get very excited when they find themselves in a new environment, and without mum around... there's no way to stop them!

Becky, you will be a fantastic mum. No-one knows  what they will be like until they have their own baby. I was in no way shape or form the least bit maternal and pushing a pram around was definately the furthest thing from my mind, but then I got pregnant with the oldest one at 17.

I was terrified but I tell you something, the rush of love I felt for her when I first held her was like nothing on earth. Yes, there were hard times but I wouldn't change it for all the money on earth.
