Being a parent is difficult, and no one does it perfectly. Whether you're struggling with your kids in public or trying to split responsibilities with your partner, parents everywhere feel your pain. You know what doesn't help with your own "mom guilt"? When other parents turn their judgment on you. That's why personal trainer and mother of two Sia Cooper took to Instagram to express her frustration for feeling like a "bad mom" simply because other people dislike her parenting choices.
Sia listed a few of the things that people have called her a bad mom for, and oy, let me tell you, the list is not pretty. Here they are:
Can you understand Sia's irritation? She proceeds to explain that "there's no one right way to parent or be a good mom." Say it louder for the people in the back! This is a valuable reminder that being a mom is already difficult, and it's impossible to meet everyone's standards or expectations. Let's all work a little harder to be a whole lot kinder so no one has to feel judged or like a "bad mom" again.
