I am part of a mummy group on WA. And all the mummy do all day is talk about what new things they have bought or signed up their kids for. They talk about buying 2-3 breast pumps, high tea at various hotels, the best tula carriers to buy, sending their kids for swimming etc. I really feel my heart pain when I see what they can offer their kids and what I cannot. Any other mummy feel this way also?

Don’t worry, we as mummy just give them the best that we could and also give within our means. Don’t compare with others. My mummy group on WA is also the same. But I just see and learn, if I think it’s helpful then I’ll follow and try. But don’t follow blindly.

Don't need to feel heart pain. What every parents afford is depending on their ability. So give ur best for them and as long u can answer to urself den is fine. money and those material stuff are not everything, love, care and concern is important too. Cheers

Ignore what others say and it should not bother you in any way. Comparison is never ending. Even the rich tends to compare and it is never ending. Don't bother about it and you will b fine. Most importantly is yr lo is healthy. Nothing matters more.

leave the grp? comparison will never end. i just skip or do selective reading. Those mummies i know who keep flaunting their branded lifestyle....sadly 90% have a pathetic life where the husbands do not help, kids have problems, etc etc. No need to envy.

Joining such a group shd be something that you can learn and get more information abt baby stuff. If u feel affected, i would suggest u to exit the group & look for another support group. we shd learn n grow together on a positive n healthy note.

if u feel not comfortable just exit from the chat. cos u should be happy and not stress up talking to people who u comfortable with is more important. never compare cos never will be equal. healthy kids with healthy mind is the most important

Good to see what others buy - don't need to be jealous or heart pain - there will always be some who can afford more or afford less. Anyway, you can always save up and buy preloved for some of the products they talk about. That's what i do! :)

why do you want to compare with them? Being with the kids itself is already the best thing. Whatever u mention above, i can't even do it. Whatever i want to get, i'm getting second hand and preloved. Most importantly is being happy

Don't feel despair. There is no need to compare with each other. It will make you worse. Well, most importantly is that u fulfil yr duty as a mother to yr lo. Other people's opinion and reaponses shouldn't bother u at all.

me. I feel exactly like u. I'm financially challenged. Life is hard. There's little encouragement fr the groups n some are pretty obviously nicer to rich mummies. So I left. But I kept in touch with informative, useful smaller grps
