Overcoming societal and cultural expectations
I thought this might help,
"perfect parenting " is probably an ideal and unrealistic standard set by the society, this actually puts an unnecessary pressure on parents in other to meet up with the standards.
Solutions:
- Focus on Your Values:
Your definition of success and hapiness is the one you gave yourself and what it means to you and your family depends on your. Stop comparing yourself with others.
- Limit Social Media Exposure:
Most of the things we see on social media is fake and unrealistic which gives us unnecessary pressure and promotes unrealistic ideals. Practice Self-Compassion: A hard truth that you should come to acknowledge is the fact that nobody is perfect, don't see the mistakes a failure but rather see it as a part of learning. Build a Support Network: Let your circles be full of supportive people , these could be friends , family members and loved ones who share your parenting values.
