We all love Dr Google, why wouldn't you? He doesn't make you cue in a waiting area full of people who are coughing continuously while your bobbing a baby on your knee so fast that they look like one of those figurines in seniors cars that stick to the dashboard. Dr Google also doesn't cost you a pretty penny everytime you search again, although in most cases you'll find your probably dying or being a hypochondriac (we've all been there, no shame). In motherhood and I'm talking even when your still cooking that little baby up you tend to google things, ALOT! Why do we do this? Because we love our children and undeniably would run to the end of the world for them, we constantly doubt our natural ability as women or mothers because we always want the best for our offspring. Most times I have found I've googled so far into things that I find other mothers bringing each other down with criticism and negativity. I don't understand why we as women feel as though the way we parent our children is the best way and only way to tackle parenthood. You bottle fed or you breast fed, there tiny tummies are both full aren't they? So your a good mum! You used the most expensive pram or the one that didn't leave a hefty hole in your pocket, they've both got wheels and hold the baby. So your a good mum! Whether your a fulltime mother, a working mother, a single mother, a mother whose partner works away or even a step mother, the fact that we google and worry that we're not doing enough says already that in fact we really are. So happy Mother's Day to all the mums, mums to be, mums who have lost children, step mums and women who are trying to become mums, you are amazing! xx
