The Myth of the Perfect Parent
Briefly

Mom guilt is an overwhelming force in many mothers' lives, constantly reminding them that they're not doing enough for their children. This societal pressure can make motherhood feel like an impossible standard to meet.
The quest to be a perfect parent often leads to feelings of guilt and inadequacy. Social media amplifies these standards, showcasing idealized versions of parenting that are often unattainable and unrealistic.
It's essential to recognize that the perfect parent is a myth. By letting go of this unattainable notion, mothers can relieve themselves of the pressure and embrace their own unique parenting journey.
I realized I was in a constant battle, feeling guilty both at work for being away and at home for not doing enough. This led me to search for ways to overcome these feelings.
