It is likely that every woman took on the role of mother with certain expectations and beliefs about how she would look - with the idea of being a good mother. Part of these expectations and hopes are the result of the pressures of our environment. Friends, family, media - all these are external factors that more or less influence our lives
Because of all of the above, sometimes difficult to follow one's own and other people's performances about how we should behave if we want the label of "good mother".
