What worries me THE MOST!

In our world, in our community, I have to say, I worry the most.. about Mum’s…

Why? I worry, that we are so consumed with trying to live up to other peoples standards of being a  ” The Perfect Mum” that we forget to get our hands dirty and just “be”…. just “be” in the moment without worrying what is the “others” would do.  And what “others” would think.

The moment we question our mothers intuition is the moment everything starts to fall apart.

Why should society/media tell us what’s right? ..  And while we’re on that subject “they” as in the media have A LOT to answer for.

Every time I read a headline that is so provocative.. that you just know the intent was to cause controversy.  It just makes my blood boil LITERALLY!!

Why? why do they do that? …to get the numbers… to get the traffic.. to make people talk about “the article” “the report” – It’s so transparent… it’s so obvious they are trying to cause “a fight” and you know what that’s kinda sick.

I walk away and I’m happy to do that! – Why? because the moment you condemn a mother is the moment a child is hurt..

Anyway, my point is let’s fucking stick TOGETHER let’s NOT tear each other to shreds.. Let us realise as Mothers that of course we are so freaking different…but that is a good thing right???

    I agree….we all need to take more notice of what our hearts say, what our heads tell us, trust in our own abilities and instincts…..and let go of comparing. I guess we all do to a degree…but there is such danger in ‘measuring up’ and comparing it breeds judgement and negetivity. Its just unnecessary pressure.
    Life as a mumma isn’t like a Huggies add!!!!! Infact mine is much more chaotic disorganised and real. But initially, in the days of a new mum, a part of me really did think, that this is what it was all supposed to look like, that picture of cleanliness, perfection and happiness….and i guess not knowing any different i felt a failure most of the time….but 10 yrs on and 3 more babies i’ve let it all go, im me, a mother who loves her kids to the moon and back (well most days). I sure as hell don’t have all the answers, i love talking to other mums….even if its just for reassurance, or swapping stories of shit days when wine o’clock couldn’t come fast enough, supporting each other is so important!!!..i love your page, your blogs, i love what you provide for all us ‘imperfect mums’ thankyou xo

    “the moment you condemn a mother, is the moment a child is hurt” I agree and It is a great thing u have created here imperfect mum. Important for us to all remember we are a part if a sisterhood -a group where being so different,so diverse, is great YET can be insignificant as we all share that common bond of being mums xo lets show love and compassion to all xo good night ladies we have earnt some shut eye!
