Busting myths about parenting so you can be liberated from unrealistic expectations
We’re bombarded by society (our culture, parents, neighbors, friends, religious institutions, schools, movies, magazines, internet, etc.) with all sorts of inputs and directives about how we’re supposed to raise our children.
It’s time to dispel some common myths about parenting and relieve the pressure of trying to be the “perfect parent.”
Myths we’re busting:
- You are in control of your children.
- There’s one right way to parent.
- Harder is better.
- Parents aren’t sexy or interesting.
- Raising children is boring.
- You should do it alone.
- The days are long, but the years are short.
- Parenting is a “job.”
I think Aveetal is doing a great job on exposing here the raw truth and how she’s coping with her straggles. What better encouragement than to talk from the heart and speak about your wickness to others. To admit that there are no perfect mothers, only humans trying their best day in day out. Thank you from my heart.
