In our society,
a mother suffers guilt no matter what she does.
If she’s on top of her kids making sure everything’s okay, she’s called a helicopter mom, and if she lets them run around as she sits on the side talking to afriend, she’s neglectful.
If she prefers cooking from scratch and organic everything, her kids are “going to go crazy on junk food when they go to someone else’s house.” And if shefeeds them donuts and muffins for breakfast some mornings because she’s in a rush or "just because," then her kids are unhealthy.
If she breastfeeds and doesn’t produce enough milk, and her baby isn’t thriving, then she’s a failure. But when she adds formula, she’s more of a failure fornot giving her baby all breast milk.
If she stays home with her kids, she should be working—"how can her family financially keep up?” But if she's working, she's met with "they're only littleonce."
If she hasn't lost the postpartum weight, "gosh, she let herself go." But if she did, "wow, she must not eat, spend hours working out, and neglect her
children.”
In a society that knows “everything” and places too many expectations on moms,
If you listen to everyone else,
you’re always going to fall short.
So, DON’T LISTEN,
and stop feeling bad for your choices.
Throw those internalized unrealistic expectations away,
and do what’s best for you and your family.
It’s called “your family” for a reason.
Besides, if you love your children and try,
you’re a good mom.

Memang, annoying bila ada situasi yang semua kita buat tak kena di mata society yg ingat diorang je yg betul. Jadi, dont listen..bukan diorang yang jaga, besarkan dan bersusah payah demi memastikan kesejahteraan yang terbaik untuk anak anak kite. Semoga Allah jauhkan aku daripada orang2 yang toksik macam ni..
