Mothers have to be perfect. The pressure of expectation is extremely great. Blogger Maria says: Pustekuchen, no mommy is perfect!
I am not a mother. But I have a favorite Mommy Instagram account . Namely that of Marry Kotter. Actually, the young mother is called Maria and is not only a mother but also a student, blogger and friend. And she gets it.
The wonderful thing about Maria: She never gives the other mommies the mirror, but creates the balancing act between beautiful photos with a great apartment, sweet daughter and good styling without being overly perfect. And that is exactly what makes the appeal of their photos for me.

I find that the pressure on mothers or women who want to become it is extremely great. You just have to be perfect. Looking good, professionally successful and the best mother in the world: best we should combine all that in us. Of course that is not possible.
And then it's pretty good that there are role models like Mary, who show us that you can enjoy your family and beautiful things while knowing that you are not perfect. And that's what Maria tells her about 68 thousand fans on Instgram.
And, because Mary is so wonderfully normal, she also writes of the soul, what she thinks. Honestly and always a bit funny. Here comes her appeal to all mothers:
"Everything here is always clean and tidy, I am perfectly groomed and petted at 7 in the morning and I manage the perfect balancing act between study, job, household and full-time childcare.
I am always motivated and in a good mood, the child is always fit for gymnastics, the MBW and I have an always harmonious and balanced relationship, I am a relaxed and relaxed super mum and even our food is totally overdressed.
Exactly. That's how it is.
Actually, I'm just a crazy, often stressed Trulla with order stick. And who follows me for some time (or just attentively) knows that I've never made a secret of it. I'm not very resilient, often overwhelmed, the MBW and I are a mess-couple, anger-Ruth makes me crazy not only with happiness and my perfectionism often stands in my own way.
When I'm asked here how I could do it all, I often fall into hysterical laughter. The answer is: no idea! And definitely often more bad than good. Please do not be fooled: #wirsindallegleich ❤️ "
