Afternoon everyone. Just interested to hear others' opinions really as I constantly hear from my Mum how a good mum should be completely selfless and put child 1st 100% of the time. I personally don't feel this is healthy and could potentially make child a spoilt brat so try to find the right balance. Mum will criticise other mums who look really good/glamorous(lucky them I say) saying that they have no interest in their child and her best catchphrase is "DS is my priority" I know that I don't need to be told!
Do you know what I mean? Whilst I accept that being a mum is a huge part of who I am but is she right? Is my life on hold for next 18 years?!!
