Image
" Comparison is the thief of joy" - Theodore Roosevelt Comparison is everywhere around you, but in motherhood, it always seems to be around. We may compare our children, parenting styles, husbands & most of the times, we compare ourselves to other moms in some ways. Comparison becomes really toxic, when it comes to motherhood. Society comparison : After delivery, the new moms are automatically been compared to to the previous moms, in terms of delivery,milk flow,postpartum body, how well taking care of baby& so many.The saddest is, they never leave the newborn babies also, regarding weight,color,behaviour& milestones.
