  How Society Looks at Mums with “ Naughty ” Children     Society often judges mums with “naughty” children unfairly. Explore the double standards, pressures, and how we can build more empathy for parents. The Reality of Parenting Under Society’s pressure. Walk into a supermarket, café, or playground and you’re likely to see it sooner or later: a child throwing themselves on the floor, shouting, refusing to listen, or demanding a snack that Mum won’t buy. The child is having a tough moment—but so is the mother. Almost instantly, people glance over, some with sympathy, others with disapproving frowns. For many, the unspoken judgment forms quickly: “ Oh !She can’t control her child. ” This moment may only last a few minutes, but for mothers, the weight of society’s expectations lingers much longer. How we view mums with “ naughty ” children reveals a lot about the pressures of modern parenting, gender roles, and our collective lack of compassion. Snap Judgments and Quick As...

  Family Planning:  A Shared Responsibility Between  Husband and Wife. In many parts of the world, family planning and contraceptive responsibilities have traditionally been seen as matters for women alone. However, in the modern age, with growing awareness about gender equality, health, and mutual respect in relationships, it has become increasingly clear that contraception and family planning must be a shared responsibility between husbands and wives. Family is built by two individuals, and the choices surrounding it — including the timing, spacing, and number of children — should involve both partners equally. Breaking the Traditional Mindset Historically, societal norms have placed the burden of contraception on women. Methods such as pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), implants, and injections are often viewed as the "default" options. Meanwhile, male participation has typically been limited to using condoms or, in rare cases, opting for vasectomy. This imbalance is ...

  How Mothers Can Use Social Media Wisely Without Falling Into the Comparison Trap   In today's world, social media is everywhere — offering advice, entertainment, and connection at every scroll.

Set a Purpose Before Logging In Before opening an app, pause for a second and ask yourself: "Why am I here right now?" Is it to find advice? To connect with other moms? To take a five-minute break? Having a clear reason can prevent mindless scrolling — and the feelings of comparison that often come with it. 2. Curate Your Feed with Care: You are in control of what you see. Follow accounts th...

But you deserve time for YOU, and with a little strategy, you can find a balance that leaves everyone — including yourself — feeling cared for. Here’s how: 1. Prioritize 3 Top Daily Must-Dos: Each morning, or even the night before, write down the top 3 things that must happen that day.
