How to be a perfect mother?

Why isn’t my child like other kids?

Am I a failure as a mother?

Am I too harsh? Am I too soft?

How can I handle them?

Why didn’t my child potty train before two?

Why is my child a fussy eater and none of the tips I see around work?

Some of you would have asked this question to yourself. You would have researched the parenting guides. You would have diligently followed your social media idol to see how they do it perfectly.

But have you ever asked what makes your child different?

BECAUSE YOUR CHILD IS AN INDIVIDUAL.

Would a top-loading washing machine and front loading washing machine give the same result? Would a Samsung oven and LG oven give the same results?

Then, WHY DO YOU EXPECT YOUR HUMAN CHILD TO BE LIKE ANOTHER CHILD OR CHILDREN AROUND.

You can try to apply the parenting tips and tricks that you see around. But if they don’t work out, it’s not your fault, nor your child’s. It’s because your child is different. You should be happy that your child has an individuality.

You would have wondered how another child remains calm and composed, while your child is unmanageable. Have you ever asked the other child’s mother how she feels about it?

She might be wondering when her child would be active like yours.

ABOVE ALL. THE SOCIAL MEDIA IS A WORLD OF FILTERS. WE ARE ONLY SHOWN THE RAINBOW BUT THE CLOUDS BEHIND ARE OFTEN CONCEALED.

So don’t compare your life with the perfect lives portrayed on social media. It’s just a virtual world. Not the real one.

SO HOW TO BE A PERFECT MOTHER?

ANS: PERFECT MOTHER IS A MYTH, IF NOT A FACADE

  5. Perfectly said…each child is different so is the motherhood. We should enjoy the moments that we send with our child and leave aside the burden of becoming a perfect mother.

  7. A mother is a mother… she is the one who always wants the best for her baby. I can’t say any mother bad or good as the style of the upbringing of a child varies from one to another. Some prefer pampering better while others feel being super strict is the only way. What type of mother you will depend largely on the baby’s psychology and how well you understand your child.

  9. Very true, perfect mother is a myth. And, comparing the child with others is not right. Each one us have different qualities and so,stressing on being a perfect mother will just take away the moments you can enjoy with your child.

  15. This is true, we can’t be a perfect mom, what we can do is try to do good parenting and we shouldn’t compare as every kid is different from others. But I feel proud of what my kids are doing in life. And I support them

  17. There is no such thing as idolising a perfect mother. We are our own role models. I realized this and I’ve been much cheerful and chirpy

  19. So much pressure from the society to portray a perfect mother when it doesn’t even exists. It’s very easy to say do this/that if you’re not in the same shoes as others. This is such a good read to spread awareness that all you need to be a perfect mother is be you and not to please others.
