Mom Made Easy: Stop Comparing Yourself

Mom Made Easy: Stop Comparing Yourself!

Stop worrying about what all of your mom friends are doing! Don’t waste your time thinking about what the mothers of your child’s friends are doing. You do not to be involved in every single thing at your child’s school. You do not have to be the head of every committee or sell the most in every fundraiser. Your worth as a mother is not measure in the number of activities you are involved in. Do what you can. Do what you want to do and what your children want you to do. Say no to things that are not of benefit to you and your family. It sets a good example for your children. Remember, you are enough and everything you do, no matter how big or small is enough!

Do you struggle with trying to keep up with the other moms? How have you learned to stop comparing yourself with other moms?

    So true! and I had to learn this the hard way after getting through the school years for my 18 year old and most of the way for my 15 year old. I was so concerned with being what I thought everyone expected of me that I got worn out! Not making the same mistake with my 5 year old!

    I love that you posted this. This post is spot on. It’s easy to get caught up thought in what everyone else is doing though. I try and only do what I can do. What I’m doing is good enough. Well, at least that is what i keep telling myself.
