I am the worst at comparison

[Kayyh]

I am so stupid for it. I do it with my kids and always worry am I a bad mum and am I doing right

someone I have on social media (went to school together has a son a year younger than mine and always shares stuff (obviously). He seems carefree and confident and it’s just an example of where I think have I done something wrong

my son is a bit shyer (he’s 3 soon) speech delay, isn’t into music or dancing asks me to turn certain songs off😂 he is the light of my life and he’s so funny and perfect. The confidence thing I just worry it’s my fault why isn’t he confident why doesn’t he go up and dance etc

I know this woman is just sharing highlight reel. Her son may tantrum loads, may dance for 1 minute while she’s filming then stop. May be scared off strangers when she’s not sharing stuff etc

but I just look at what people share ;this is one example) and constantly think do I take him out enough do I do enough am I a good mum etc

Sounds like anxiety which is a common thing people experience. Social media is terrible for stirring it up.

Your son may not want to dance because he doesn't like dancing. Maybe he never will. He's a different person from the other mum's child. Like you say.

Remember, you're seeing the edited highlights on SM.

The grass may look greener on the other side, but it’s probably astroturf.
