Do you feel that you are a better parent as you go along?

I knew a lady that would say many times 'if I could have my kids again, I would do so much better. I wish I could do it all again'. My oldest is 8 and my youngest is 16 months, and I feel that I am a much much better parent and although I am one that refuses to regret things because they are meant to be but if I happened to go back in time and do it again, I would definitely do it differently, and better now.Do you feel that you are a better parent as you go along?
i think i am getting better. i strive to be a good no a great mom but i know as the years go by and i get older my ways of thinking change so yes i am getting better. as i look at the way things were in the past 10 years there is nothing i want to change. i think that even the bad things are what made me who i am today and if i change it, i didn't learn anything. Do you feel that you are a better parent as you go along?
I was very young when I had my kids who are now 14 %26amp; 11 and I KNOW I'm a better mother than I was when I started out. lol I remember that with my 1st son, once he was fed and cleaned I didn't have a clue as to what to do with him. I definitely enjoyed my younger son's infancy more. While it's still a learning process...every day my kids teach me something new!! lol I have very few regrets in the choices I have made for them or in regards to them. So far they are turning out pretty good with only a few bumps and scrapes. My biggest regret though: I wish that I had taken more time to stop and appreciate all those little moments when they were younger. They have grown so fast and one year seems to just melt into the next. I know now to appreciate the little moments but I didn't back then
I am an expecting father, and I know that going in I won't be a superb parent. I'm going to make mistakes, and I know that it'll happen. I can just hope that I improve over time, and become a decent parent for my child, or children if we have more. So, I have to imagine that what you've asked is true, that I will be a better parent as I get more practice with it.
Yeah, I do think I'm learning as I go along. I think that's why second children sometimes have it better than first borns. Their parents are smarter. Meanwhile, your first born kid keeps growing into new phases that you have to figure out.
I don't know if it would make a difference I really appreciate the learning experience and gee, with my daughter I think I'd be tested just as much and I don't need a do over, I'm already fearing when she's a teenager!!
