The other day, I heard someone demeaning the mother of a famous politician. A man thought the mother didn’t cuddle and breastfed the politician? Is he right?

I listened to this person, and my creative mind took over and decided to share the story

Everyone blames mothers for the societal problems. In some instances, perfect mothers and professionals shamed mothers who don't meet a "good" mother's standard.

Is that not amazing?

Studies show the few weeks of the baby's life are essential for their development. That's the least.

The most important thing for the child's positive development is the wellness of a new mother from the early stage of the pregnancy to the few months of the baby's life.

Why?

A new mother reflects everything to the child during pregnancy and the first few months of life. Positive brain development in infants makes life easier for the child, family, and society—one reason children tend to thrive in communal communities. In these communities, there are few mental illnesses in children.

Why are mothers blamed for the ills of society?

A blame game is never a solution to any problem. However, mindfulness, self-reflection, and honesty can help decrease societal issues.

The man blamed the politician's mother for the leader's mean spirit. Is he right?

How to help a new mother and society

Welcome to fatherhood. More importantly, if you are a new father or expecting a baby soon, please do society a favor and pay a little attention to the new mother of your child.

Pay attention, hire someone, or bring an extended family member to pay attention to a new mother for at least the first few weeks of the baby's life.

Or drop the phone or never-ending video game and focus on the new mother for a few minutes.

Twenty years from now, your empathy and compassion toward the mother of your child will make life easier for you, your child, your family, your community, and society at large.

And in a few decades, you will help create a good human being as leader of the free world.

Therefore, in 2023, stop the blame game and solve the societal problems from your home. It starts with you, man. Help or hire someone to help create a peaceful human being, which means a peaceful world.

Help yourself grow.
