Judgmental people 😡
Throughout your life you will notice that someone, somewhere will have something negative to say about how you parent your child or children. It's normal, you cannot please everyone.
So what if your child is a bit more boisterous than others. So what if your house isn't as clean as your friends house who has five more kids than you. So what if you don't work out as much as some parents.. I for example don't need to work out because I'm constantly running around after my whirlwind child. So what if you didn't breastfeed and your cousin breastfed all four of her kids with ease. So what if you gave birth without pain relief or if you took every drug going.. So what?
Neither of you are better than the other, you are both Mums, raising beautiful children.
Kudos to the mum who makes her kids healthy meals 3 times a day and rock on to the mum who lets her kids have ice lollies or crisps for breakfast.
Namaste to the peaceful mum who disciplines her child by talking it out..
I feel you to the mother who's blue in the face from yelling...
You're both doing amazing.
To the working mum you rock. To the stay at home mum you rock also.
Single mums, married mums, gay mums, different religion mums, mums that keep it together, mums that lose their poo, mums that dress their kids in designer, mums that let their kids wear what they want, mums on benefits, mums who earn a wage, mums who cook, mums who order take out, old mums, young mums, mums who mollycoddle, mums who raise independent kids, mums, mums, mums, you're all mums! You're all awesome, you're all queens, you're all doing the best you can!
What a mum does with their own child is that mums choice, we don't have the right to pull anyone up on how they raise their babies, what you may think makes a bad parent someone else may think makes a fantastic parent.
How about next time you see a mum struggling you don't tut at her as she tries to control her out of control wolf cub, instead say "you're doing good job queen mum, keep going!" Or how about you compliment the parent who goes by the books, cause that too is awesome and I can imagine so difficult to do. How nice would the world be if we didn't judge, or upset another mum on what she feels is the right way to raise her babies?
Now isn't that a nice thought? Wouldn't that be lovely? Why don't we all just give it a go?
