You did what? Bad Mommy. Just Kidding.

As Moms, we worry, and sometimes by worrying we compare and comparing leaves us nowhere. Comparing our parenting skills and lil ones to another family just makes us feeling blah, and seriously for what? No one kid is alike and not every household should be run the same. Imagine? How boring would that be. Come on, lighten up and enjoy these most precious moments with your kids.

Admittingly, I am derserving of the “stressed-out-first-time-mommy” award, but by knowing I am not alone in this thing called mommyhood, makes it all the better.

1. You Are A Great Mommy.  Don’t underestimate yourself, you are doing great as a mom. Just ask your kids, they’ll tell you or if they are to young actually tell you, then they’ll show you. First time, second or third time mommies are always second guessing themselves, but just remember that every kid is different and that is what makes us all unique.

2. Your Child Will Reach That Milestone.  If you could only hear me 9 months ago, when I was wishing and hoping that my son (now 19 months) would walk and act like that the other kids his age. Here’s that comparison thing again. Now that my little tot is no longer crawling, but running makes me wish for those days when all he wanted was mommy.

3. Your Baby Will Not Fall Behind If He Misses A Day Of Pre-K.  Parents these days feel that they need to include their kids in structured activities, but its ok to stay at home and chill.  He can learn by playing at home just the same.

4. My Toddler Still Uses A Binky.  In most cases toddler use pacifiers for comfort and they will eventually stop asking for it.  In the meantime, try a substitute such as a small blanket. View Post
