Mums Advice

General advice from parent to parent

Maybe You Shouldn’t Be So Judgmental

Maybe those two teenagers you saw walking to the shop together live in the same house, maybe they arent related but one is from an abusive home so locked down with their friends family.

Maybe your neighbour had a friend over, but was feeling suicidal or low. Maybe they took precautions to be careful to see each other which potentially stopped one of them taking their own life. If that one of them who’s life was spared has children then they still have a mummy or daddy as a result.

Maybe that parent you saw in the supermarket with all their kids is a single parent and had no choice.

Maybe that elderly couple you see walking together daily are not from the same household, but they know people will assume they are. But maybe they have lived their lives and deserve to have a little bit of comfort from a companion, maybe if they are just walking together just the 2 of them they arent doing anyone any harm if they aren’t contacting others?

Maybe that mum who’s homeschooling and baking and being the perfect insta mum is doing all that to keep herself sane.

Maybe that mum that’s letting their kid go wild on xbox is doing that to keep herself and the kid sane too.

Maybe that person who walked too close to you in the supermarket didnt realise, didnt see you as head is a mess, or didnt know the rules maybe has some kind of learning difficulties…

Maybe that annoying shop keeper who’s doing one in one out is trying his/her best to be safe and keep people safe.

Maybe that rude check out boy/girl is scared for her life working in an unsafe environment with unpredictable peoples behaviours and is just trying to get through her day hoping no one gives her Corona

Maybe everyone needs to just MIND THEIR F***ING BUSINESS because you dont know shit people are going through, you dont have the same coping mechanisms as everyone, and half the time you’re probably making wrong assumptions.

I personally think MOST of us are doing really well and should be proud of ourselves instead of reading all the whingey shite!
