Just seen the local "wonder mum"

Four children ages approx 10 -2 all impeccably turned out and well behaved. All pleasant and polite lovely happy children.

Mum always looks supermodel wonderful. She always has a beautific calm look on her face, waist length hair swishy and shiny. Nothing out of place. No smugness about her either, a thoroughly nice person. Even in a potentially stressful scenario as an airport first thing in the morning.
Husband of wonder mum also very pleasant nice person to be around.

AIBU to wonder why I cannot attain this scene of perfection? When DH, little supergirl and I go out in public together we are always scruffy at best, slovenly at worst, disorganised and stressy.....

Why oh why?

Lol munki I probably never looked better than pg I wasn't drinking obviously, was eating fairly healthy, put on just 1 Stone which was all baby and my hair & nails grew, skin was clear. I had rough days but others if I didn't have the gigantic bump that was ds you wouldn't know I was pg. I looked fab on the day I went into labour. Makeup, nice hair, gorg maternity dress. Just didn't feel it.

I think this is the point and important in this thread, you never know what other people see or think looking at you. I've had girl friends genuinely think they look terrible and I'm thinking they look lovely.

That supermum you see may think her thighs are huge and her hair is a mess and the kids are scruffs. You never know.
