People seem to feel better when they are more like others, than not like others. This feeling lasts for many people beyond high school, but when it comes to parenting, Moms should know that each mom and child experiences different things, and that is what’s normal in being a mom. Moms can feel confused about how to move forward with a new permanent person by their side which makes them uncomfortable and doesn’t feel natural. On the other hand, some moms feel totally natural in being a mom. Some women don’t feel that they were meant to be moms and that being a mom isn’t natural for them. Some mothers find that their babies sleep a lot and they are bored, while other moms birth children that never sleep. There are babies that cry a lot, making moms feel worthless, and some women end up depressed and don’t bond with their babies; these women should seek help. There are mothers who love breastfeeding, those who hate it and feel guilty, and those who are happy to bottle feed. Finally, there are women who already can’t wait to have another baby, but there are also those who never want another pregnancy experience.

• The fact that many mothers don’t want to be seen as different is why the start of motherhood can be overwhelming for new mothers.
• The author states that in real motherhood and not perceived one, which she has experienced, a mother does not have to be similar to other mothers.
