I'm with you, Chookie. There are those days when mothering a 2yo when I think, "am I not getting through at all? Am I bunging this up terribly?" And there are days when I know I'm on the right track - yesterday was a mix, for instance, but there was one moment when ds broke a cheap emery board of mine that he'd been playing with (with my blessing) and he brought it to me and signed "sorry," like he meant it, and we threw it away together, and I thought, "I taught him that! I taught him to own up when he breaks something, and apologize! That's pretty cool!"
I'm usually fairly confident that I'm a good mom, although I have times of self-doubt and guilt like anyone. As you say, if I make a mistake I acknowledge it and apologize to my son, and I can tell that even at 27 mo he appreciates it. And, most importantly, he emulates it.

Children don't expect perfection from us, I don't think. My own childhood would have been terrifying if I had parents who were perfect all the time (or if I thought they were)! But when we do our best, that shines through, and is valued.
I can probably count on my fingers, on one hand, the number of times I've ever gone to bed thinking "well, I was a great mom today!", though! I guess nobody's momnipotent . . .
