## _When you think about it, being a parent is a pretty crazy concept._

You literally have nine months to prepare for something that no one can really prepare
you for before you are handed an infant that you will be fully responsible for. 
And not just for a couple days. **FOREVER.**

Sure there are books you can read about [pregnancy](https://stayathomemum.com.au/my-kids/pregnancy/),
[sleeping](https://stayathomemum.com.au/my-kids/babies/newborn-sleep-patterns-1-to-6-weeks/),
feeding, [dealing with tantrums](https://stayathomemum.com.au/my-kids/parenting-style/parenting-your-strong-willed-child/)
and so forth, but, really, there is not a test you have to pass to become a parent.
And there is no real measurement to know if you are doing a good job. But I have
faith that all of us mums and dads are doing a pretty amazing job and **we all deserve
an ‘A’ for Awesomeness**.

Here are our ABC’s of Being an Awesome Mum to help you on those days when you may
feel like you are getting a sub par grade. [Download the PDF version here](https://stayathomemum.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/convert-jpg-to-pdf.net_2014-06-27_04-53-57.pdf)
to print out and attach to your wall on those days when you really feel like selling
your kids and moving to the Caribbean.
