Mummies, Be Kinder To Other Mummies....Please......

A friend of mine released a new DVD for kids last year and I was pretty excited about it. The reason was because I thought having 2 preschoolers, it would be great to have an interactive educational dvd for them. Especially for my son. So after a week, I had left a review on the dvd. Here is part of my review....

Bought the DVD last week for Putra. He is 2 and is pretty slow when it comes to learning. Being a boy and very active, its hard to try to get him to sit and teach him anything. So when I heard the Colours and Shapes DVD is out for sale, I was excited. The verdict....... Kids loving it!! ...

Recently there is a mum commenting on my review... Here it is.....

"I found that the comment that woman left about the video to be a little harsh on her child. She says that he's not very smart.......Hell, he's only two!!! Yes it is good to teach children things by all means. My son could count to ten by the time he was two, but they are children & we should let them be children & stop encouraging them to grow up so fast. This time flies by so fast."

I am not angry much but very very dissapointed. Firstly, I did not say my son was not very smart. HE IS SMART alright just when it comes to learning, he is slow and that is totally a different thing. Secondly, she doesnt know me and my kids at all and its not right to judge me that way. So please mummies.... be kinder and don't put your own words because it can be really hurting. This is not the first time I have experienced this and have seen many insensitive and harsh judgement of mums towards other mums
Kindness, Empathy and Compassion Towards Other Mums Please..........

I am at the point where I am sick of joining any mum's websites forum. Its unbelievable how there are sooooooooo many mums out there trying to sound or prove they are the greatest mum of all. And its unbelievable how many are soooo unsupportive and utter lots of discourage words and comments to other mums.

This just has to stop. Being a woman is tough and adding the status mum to our profile makes it even tougher. People in general are no longer humble and down to earth. Status is such an important factor in their life that they forget the meaning of compassion, sensitivity and understanding others.

The whole idea of being look upon as the more experience and capable mum, has make many mums failed to be kind to other mums. To me, it doesnt matter if you are rich or poor... or have a maid or no maid.. or have 1 or 2 or 10 kids... a mum is a mum.. each has their own problems and their own way to raise their kids. Nobody can tell you how to raise or who your kids are but yourself.

The best thing a mum can offer to another mum is a listening ear and be supportive. Its amazing how much a different that will be to a mum if another mum will just be there to listen and utter words that is warm and supportive. Not only will she be encourage but makes the rest of the day much easier to go through.

I said this to a mum before... "The world is challenging and trying as it is, the next thing I want is to allow a person, who is negative and full of discourage words, in my life"

Mums.. be kind to other mums... Motherhood is the toughest job in the world. No one knows that better than us mums. The next time a mum express her plight and worries, give a smile, listen and a nice hug. Make her day :) Thats a gift!

God Bless!

Hope you had a great Mother' Day!
