Re: Pressure surrounding the idea of a 'good parent'
Oh, if only it was this easy. I also worry wayyyyyy too much about what people think... the end result short hair that I hate!!! Why? I cut it because, being a childcare worker everyone appeared to think that my opinion wasn't valid - despite my qualifications - I was too young and obviously not a mother so therefore wouldn't know what I was talking about. When politley informed that I have two little girls they looked at down at me and were like... Really? You look way too young! And I felt like they thought I was tramp. So then I found myself telling them I was married and my age. Being paranoid, I got P%&^ED off with it and cut my hair to try to look more mature and have gotten nothing but respect since. UNREAL! End result... ugly hair BUT my opinion counts... mmm I think I'm going to grow my hair again because I DON'T CARE ANYMORE! LOL!!!
If your children have love, a roof over their heads and food in their tummy's... then good on you. You are great mum and yell it loud and proud!!!
