Mom Groups Aur Mera Social Anxiety ka Rishta
Maa banni thi, par ek naye sansaar mein kadam rakha tha—Mom Groups.
Facebook par add hui, WhatsApp pe welcome mila, aur zindagi bhar ke liye ek naye syllabus mein daakhila ho gaya.
Pehla message aaya—“Hi mommies! Let’s share our baby’s milestones!”
Ek ne likha: “My baby rolled over at 3 months, said mama at 4 months, and now knows 3-letter words!”
Maine socha—“Mera toh abhi bhi remote chabane mein hi busy hai…”
Har group mein ek “Organic Mom” hoti hai—jo kehti hai, “I only give hand-mashed papaya, no processed food ever.”
Ek “Pinterest Mom” hoti hai—baby’s first birthday ke liye 6-tier jungle-theme cake aur safari photo booth.
Aur phir hoti hoon main—jo apna bun kab last wash kiya, yaad bhi nahi.
Har baar jab group mein koi “milestone chart” ya “sleep training tips” bhejta hai, meri screen se guilt ka paani tapakne lagta hai.
Ek baar toh kisi ne diaper brand ke upar debate shuru kar di—“Avoid this one, my baby got rashes!”
Main chup thi, kyunki main toh already Teddyy Diaper Pants pe switch kar chuki thi—anti-bacterial, cottony soft, anti-rash. At least ek decision toh guilt-free tha.

Mom groups ka pressure real hai. Har kisi ko lagta hai ki unka tareeka best hai.
Par sach yeh hai—koi bhi maa sab kuch nahi jaanti. Sab try kar rahi hain, galtiyaan kar rahi hain, aur seekh rahi hain.
Ek din maine apne fear ko side rakha, aur group mein likha:
“Hi. I love my baby, but sometimes I miss being just me. Is that okay?”
Aur pata hai? Replies aaye. Honest, kind, emotional.
Ek ne likha: “Thanks for saying it out loud. We all feel it.”
Mom groups perfect nahi hote. Par agar aap apna guard thoda sa down karo, toh wahaan bhi apne jaise log mil jaate hain.
Un logo ke saath jo bata paate hain—“Baby aaj potty nahi ki, aur main uss news pe coffee toast kar rahi hoon.”
Motherhood isn’t a competition. It’s messy, tiring, beautiful, and lonely—sometimes all at once.
Aur kabhi-kabhi, ek achha diaper aur ek honest message, dono healing’ ka kaam kar jaate hain.
