Well, all moms know that motherhood is demanding and beautiful at the same time. Being a mom is a tough task and being a good mom is a tougher one. But i think, just as babies should not be compared with another, moms must not compare themselves to other moms.
Moms i have met recently somehow want to feel that they have been a better mother. Well, there is no comparison here. Each of us have our own way of handling our babies and we do what we think is best for them. I dont see a right or wrong in this. I believe that each baby is unique and that there is no steadfast rule in bringing them up. But most mothers i meet have to offer - " why r u doing this? shouldnt u be giving him this food instead of that? why r u using the pacifier? i cant understand what this complex is all about? Excuse me - pls let me handle my baby.
What bugs me most is that when u have a genuine concern and u need advice, no one has anything worthwhile to offer. Bugs me totally. Unsolicited advice is not welcome.
If these are one type, type 2 consists of people who are on the other end. The " i think you are being overprotective" types.
I hope these people one day understand that motherhood is not about a competition on " who's the best mom'. All of us need our space and at the end of the day, its only our baby that rewards us for being a good parent. Noone else does, noone else really cares.
I am not a perfect mom, but i am a good one and strive to get better each day as my baby and i grow together.
