The inner and outer mummy judges are bitches

I am writing this coz I realized how mummy judges are very mean and bad for my soul. And yet I think it exists in every mother. 

How many times that ugly judgemental voice comes out when we see fellow mummies doing something we deemed as odd? More often than not I realized its this inner battle I have with myself. I also try to be sensitive to other mummies as well. 

Being a mum is hard enough, you really don't need another mummy to fuck with your mind.

Sometimes when I hear what other mummies faced with their kiddos I tried to think of something smart to say like hey that's what I did too. But somehow that something smart eludes me. I am often speechless and awkward. 

But really different folks different strokes. While I know what works for me and E, it may not apply to other mummies and their kiddos. Easy to say hard to practice. 

Note to self - be less critical and more encouraging. We all just want the bestest for our kiddos.
