Asking for help doesnt make you a bad mum !
Being a good mum is doing the best for your baby and for you ! By asking for help it gives you a break or reassurance and just makes you a great mum.
You would be a bad mum if you didnt care whether you were a good or bad mum, by asking the question and from what you have said I reckon you're a great Mum ! It cant be easy being a single Mum & i'm sure you're doing great.

You know that you are a good Mum when you worry about not being one!
It is fabulous that you have family that can help - let them.
It must be very daunting on your own but there are lots of women out there who have managed it and some days will be harder than others but believe in yourself and do what YOU think is right for your baby.
We all feel like bad Mums sometimes but hey everyone makes mistakes and they don't come with instructions. Just be confident and ask for help when you need it. Enjoy your little girl x

I agree with the others, only good mums worry whether or not they are good mums and the fact you are taking responsibility by asking for help when you need it is more proof.
We all fall short sometimes but also we often exceed our expectations
take care

I think as long as you and your baby are happy, that's the best proof of being a good mum. It's not about material things, and hon, you're amazing to do it alone!!!
I do moan about DH, but at least he's there. I didn't appreciate him til my best mates husband left her, and our babies are the same age! Well done you x
