A BRAND CALLED MOTHER
 
Being a mum is to feel vulnerable. 
 
Am I doing everything my child needs me to? What if my child is a picky eater? What if my child doesn’t sleep all night? What if my child doesn’t achieve expected developmental levels? What if my child struggles with separation anxiety? Will my child be liked and popular? What if my child doesn’t behave in socially acceptable ways? What if my child is mean sometimes? What will other people think of them? What will they think of me? 

What if my dreams for my child don’t come to fruition?
 
Our deepest fears and vulnerabilities make us uncomfortable and can lead us to form our own ‘mother brand’; an image we’re desperate to attain, envious of and try to project to others. It’s where encouragement becomes expectation, enjoyment becomes forced fun and influence becomes pressure.
