Below is a helpful article to balance our thoughts regarding motherhood and parenting. I may not agree with every word, but people shouldn't get their nose out of joint when simply being faced with differing views from their own. Everyday I come across a belief that seems to have swept world-wide, where mothers are elevating themselves to the position of a superhero or a queen, when really one should take on the role of mothering with humility and a REALISTIC perspective. Mothering is a blessing and a role filled with extreme responsibility, but no one needs a medal. Where is the acknowledgement of the masses of people that it takes to raise a child in the best way, the father, the grandparents, in-laws, siblings, aunties, uncles, teachers, carers, role models???
