I saw this on Facebook yesterday so had to share it here because I think it
is just so bloody spot on.
To the mum who's breastfeeding: way to go! It really is an amazing gift to
give your baby, for any amount of time that you can manage! You're a good mum.
To the mum who's formula feeding: isn't science amazing? To think there was
a time when a baby with a mother who couldn't produce enough would suffer, but
now? Better living through chemistry! You're a good mum.
To the cloth nappy mum: fluffy bums are the cutest, and so friendly on the
bank account. You're a good mum.
To the disposable nappy mum: damn those things hold a lot, and it's
excellent to not worry about leakage and laundry! You're a good mum.
To the mum who stays home: I can imagine it isn't easy doing what you do,
but to spend those precious years with your babies must be amazing. You're a
good mum.
To the mum who works: It's wonderful that you're sticking to your career,
you're a positive role model for your children in so many ways, it's fantastic.
You're a good mum.
To the mum who had to feed her kids from the drive though all week because
you're too worn out to cook or go grocery shopping: You're feeding your kids,
and hey, I bet they aren't complaining! Sometimes sanity can indeed be found in
a red box with a big yellow M on it. You're a good mum.
To the mum who gave her kids a home cooked breakfast lunch and dinner for
the past week: Excellent! Good nutrition is important, and they're learning to
enjoy healthy foods at an early age, a boon for the rest of their lives. You're
a good mum.
To the mum with the kids who are sitting quietly and using their manners in
the fancy restaurant: Kudos, it takes a lot to maintain order with children in
a place where they can't run around. You're a good mum.
To the mum with the toddler having a meltdown in the cereal aisle: they
always seem to pick the most embarrassing places to lose their minds don't
they? We've all been through it. You're a good mum.
Sometimes we all need to hear this, and stop judging each other, and
celebrate our differences.
Please share this with all the mummies you know, they may need to hear
these words!

This is good.
ReplyDeleteAnd true. We all do the best we can for our children.
Yes I loved it when I saw it and just had to share it
DeleteOh, I really love this Jo-Anne. It's brilliant. So often, you have people trying to critisize mums for one thing or another. But this is really spot on!We all do our very best and that's all we can do. I wish that a lot of young mums could read this, so that they wouldn't have to stress quite so much. Love the little photos and quotes today as well.
ReplyDeleteYeah I thought so too..............I have daughters who are young mums and I am forever telling them they are doing a great job because they are doing the best job the know how to do
DeleteLOVE this post! I'm sharing it with my friends.

ReplyDeleteThank you I thought so
DeleteSo sweet--all the mothers everywhere doing it their own way because hey, all kids are different, right? And God gives each one the BEST mom!
ReplyDeleteYou are right I tell my girls they are doing a great job and that they are doing the best the know how to do and they shouldn't let others tell them other wise
DeleteNice post.
ReplyDeleteOh I love this.... Moms of all kinds are really amazing.
