Slow motherhood - a good reminder or another thing to feel guilty about?

<p>Pinterest says &quot;Slow Motherhood&quot; is trending up by 310%. Our first instinct? Ehhhhh, no thanks. We’re tired. 🙄</p><p><br></p><p>It’s easy to look at the aesthetic - the intentional walks, the linen pants, the sourdough - and feel like it’s just another stick to beat working mums with. But what if &quot;Slow Motherhood&quot; isn&#39;t about perfection? What if it&#39;s actually about the death of the overscheduled kid?</p><p><br></p><p>So this week we&#39;re getting into it. What slow motherhood actually means beyond the Instagram version. Why a generation of parents is starting to question the over-scheduled, over-optimised childhood we&#39;ve been sold. And whether any of this is remotely possible when you have a full time job, a mortgage, multiple kids, and a Saturday morning standing on a humid rugby field at 8am holding a 2L bottle of iced water wondering how your life came to this.</p><p><br></p><p>Slow motherhood doesn&#39;t mean lazy. It might just mean sane.</p>
