'I've felt the tug-of-war between wanting to do everything 'perfectly' and recognizing that perfection is an illusion,' Nina Spears told Newsweek.
A woman from Texas is going viral for her pertinent list of impossible expectations mothers face today.In a reel on Instagram, mom of two Nina Spears pointedly listed the 'never-ending equation' of being a mom in the 21st century. From bouncing back after childbirth to maintaining a pristine home, a flourishing career and a perfect parenting style, Spears painted a picture of the relentless societal pressure.
'As a mother, I've felt the tug-of-war between wanting to do everything 'perfectly' and recognizing that perfection is an illusion. On top of that, the subtle judgments from others about parenting choices from family, friends, and even strangers—whether it's about feeding, baby sleep, or working outside the home—add to the weight we carry,' she said.Through her work as a doula and mom coach, Spears has seen these pressures affect other mothers too.
