“The more you can keep your gaze on the relationship between the two of you and avoid looking at others for validation, the better a parent you will be, and the more secure your child will eventually become. The same advice goes for accepting and supporting the individuality of your relationship with your partner, as well as the specificity of his relationship with the baby.”

“In a way, a woman gets to re-experience her own childhood in the act of parenting, repeating what was good, and trying to improve what was not. If a woman had a difficult relationship with her mother, she may try to be the mother she wishes she’d had.”

“Competition is a common social tension that we hear about from new mothers. As with any other time in life, some people, consciously or not, may find a way to turn the conversation to prove that they have it the best, or even the worst. Maybe you’re commiserating about how tired you are, and your friend one-ups you with stories about how her sleep deprivation is being compounded by her demanding (and impressive) accomplishments at work or full social calendar. Competitive friends are usually not trying to put you down but, rather, trying to make themselves feel better. When it comes to parenting, there are very few “right” answers, and that makes everyone feel insecure about their decisions.”
