The first topic for the Comparison Trap Series was House Cleanliness. Now we’re going to get REAL with talking about Physical Beauty.
REMINDER: According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, “Comparison is act of examining the character or qualities. Trap is a position or situation from which it is difficult or impossible to escape.”
So within the context of mamahood, my definition of comparison trap is being stuck in the act of examining another mama or parent’s character or actions against yourself or a societal (made-up) standard.
Now we know, we usually want/desire what we DON’T have…
For me, it sounds a little like this:
- “I’m so skinny; I wish I was phat. If I just had a phat butt and hips with a thin waist.”
