There is something that has been on my mind a lot lately, and I came across a quote today that said it perfectly.
"There is no one perfect way to be a good mother. Each
situation is unique. Each mother has different challenges, different skills and
abilities, and certainly different children. The choice is different and unique
for each mother and each family."
I often hear women talking negatively about choices they see other moms making. Being a mom is already hard, and nobody wants to hear criticism on the way they choose to do it. Just assume all moms are doing their best. They may do some things differently than you do, but that's ok - their children are different than yours, and maybe that is the best thing for them.
Moms need encouragement, rather than criticism. Be the one to tell a mom you know that she is doing a great job. I'm sure it will make her day.
Love,
