You're The Worse Mom

Indeed, your baby is the extension of you. Whatever she's doing reflects good or bad on you. No one really factors in that even at the age of 2, these cute lil angels have a mind of their own. If they did something great, well plus point on you. If they cry like there's no tomorrow, well, you're up for an award for the worse mom. Here are the usual things that Moms go through at this phase.

1. She only likes your side of the family. You must be doing something wrong.
Can't 2 year olds have preference for family relationship? Well, as young as they are, you'd be surprise that they do have strong attachment to certain sides of the family. Does that reflect bad on you? Well, you'll be thought of many things. Things like you have too much attachment; you've babied your daughter far too much! You spoiled her too much. Misconceptions, misconceptions, misconceptions. Nobody sees that sometimes it breaks your hear to spank your child because she's acting up. Nobody sees that patience you have to exercise because she's in that terrible two stage. In the eyes of those who don't know, if they can't have what they want immediately, you must be doing something wrong.

2. She's still breasfeeding at 2???? You're doing it all wrong
Yeah, I admit, weaning out can be so convenient. But letting her have formula is not always the solution to make her go with people or relatives she doesn't see often. And if when she doesn't go easily with people, then your baby is labeled with being bratty or annoying. As parents, we shouldn't be the first one to judge our toddlers. My GOD!! she's just 2. We're the adult; let's not crucify the kid for siding on one side of the family. I believe there should always a gameplan involved. But that will only work if all parents are involve. Always try your best not to let your frustration gets the best of you. There are days, I admit, that I get frustrated and want to spank my kid. But I learned that it's not always the best and she'd only cry more.

3. She's not like her dad who's patient. There must be something wrong.
To be frank, I don't want my kid to be exactly like her dad or even me. I want her to be the best version of either of us. Who cares if my daughter doesn't get her dads complacency when he was a kid?? Does that mean she'll fail as an adult? Sometimes it should be adults who have their attitude in check before crucifying 2years for the simple reason of favoring one side of the family.
