The Real Parenting Revolution!

Netmums has named 2011 as the year of the Real Parenting Revolution. The year when mums and dads across the country breathe a huge sigh of relief as the expectation of being a ‘perfect parent’ is finally lifted from our shoulders.

It’s time to feel good about ourselves for simply being 'good enough'.
The illusion of perfect parenting and the perception that other parents are doing better than we are is damaging and can wreak havoc on mothers' self-esteem and mental wellbeing. Netmums are calling for a societal understanding and acknowledgement of the challenges of being a parent in our post-recession era. Throughout 2011, Netmums will be campaigning for support to be there where and when we need it. We will be calling on organisations, politicians, businesses and individuals to get real and join us in this new pragmatic approach to parenting.
