Topic: Do Mothers neglect themselves too much? If yes then why and what can be done to improve the balance?
Lets cuddle!

Ofcourse mothers do neglect themselves too much. Sometimes it is due to their own will of extreme emotional atrachment and at times due to the fear of society or dven the pressure of society which makes them run in a race of comparative motherhood where they are being taunted about who does what and how for their child, sacrifices etc , all in the hoard of being tagged as a "good" mother. A mother itself is an epitome of sacrifices since the day of conception, people need to understand that this word/ person needs no introduction or no adjectives to enhance its meaning. The thinking needs to change in the society. The society needs to unlearn what was going on until now and relearn the fact that it needs to be liberal and non judgemental towards all moms. Only then concepts of babysitting, creches, daycare etc will become popular. Even stay at home moms or working from home moms need me time. But people think that if a mom is at home means her only and only priority is the baby and family. Baby is the first priority for any category of moms irrespective of their nature of job or profession. A mother who decides to work and is away from baby for work is always guilty and envious of the stay at home mom. She keeps cursing herself all her life fir anything that goes wrong in the child's life.

While the stay at home mom is low in self esteem, forgets her self worth, and settles down by only admiring the working mom or even starts having expectations from her child.

So grass is not too green on either sides.

A strict set of rules and regulations, accrediation, standardisation of the baby care industry can be of great help for all the moms in unison. This industry should grow with an holistic and trustworthy approach. The more it ll grow, the more affordable it ll become. The govt has tried to some extent by launching Anganwadi centers for the poor people, where a mother can trust her baby and go to work and earn. But it is also not so active to be running in its full potential.

I guess we need a Naiyya Saggi or a NEHA AGGARWAL to soon recognize this business gap and the needs of this industry to bring about a visible change in the society and a gradual shift of focus from the dreamy-sometimes-unachievable-superlative mommyhood to a more realistic-dependable-sustainable mommyhood. #communitycuddles
