As mums, we've all had that feeling of "not being good enough", not measuring up to expectations of how we should be doing - where parenting is concerned this is a really unhelpful trap to fall into, and doesn't help you or your children. It can lead to feelings of anxiety, guilt and failure. Especially if you're attaining to be an unrealistic figure: Supermum.
