This week on Motherhood Is a MF, Kei is talking about mom comparison, social media motherhood, motherhood expectations and why somebody else's version of being a “good mom” doesn't need to become the standard for your house.

Because different families have different resources.

Different capacity.

We're not all starting with the same starter pack.

And sometimes the thing making you feel inadequate isn't actually something your child needs — it's simply something you saw another mom doing.

IN THIS EPISODE

Kei gets into the pressure to copy what we see online, the working-mom-versus-stay-at-home-mom comparison trap, extracurricular overload, flexible household rules and the difference between borrowing inspiration and turning somebody else's choices into law.

Because your child doesn't need every experience.

Your dinner doesn't have to look like hers.

Your routine doesn't have to look like hers.

Your motherhood doesn't have to look like hers.

What works for your family is the point.

Now ask yourself:

Does this actually serve my family — or have I just been doing it because I think I'm supposed to?

Take what works.

Leave what doesn't.

And let your values — not comparison — be the measuring stick for your motherhood.
