Stop tryna be like that Mum.
Look like that Mum.
Parent like that Mum.
Have a house like that Mum.
Toys like that Mum.
A relationship like that Mum.
You will never BE her.
You will never have exactly what she has.
You can never parent the same, because you have different kids, different support, different finances, different personalities!
Sure, take inspiration.
Get ideas.
Motivation.
Then forge your own path.
Do it your way.
With YOUR unique skillset.
Do your best Mama.
It will always be enough.
You are enough.
And your baby loves you, no matter what .
