Question

Explain why it is important for mothers know they shouldn’t listen to external sources of how they should mother?

Answer 1

Every mother is different. When people give advice on how to raise a child or be a mother, they can be offended or worried. Everyone’s experience is different. If the mom gets advice from someone who’s child was easy to take care of, she may think it’s easy when it’s actually way more difficult. If she gets advice from someone who’s child was hard to take care of, she might worry and have doubts. It’s better to just listen to your instincts and go with the flow!
