YouTuber Georgina Njenga took to her socials to ask netizens to refrain from criticizing her and other new moms for partying.
She pointed out that such comments make them feel like they are not doing enough leading to the constant feeling of guilt.
This happened after she attended the Shoke Shoke Festival.
“First of all asking a mum where she left her baby while trying fun is mum shaming since you all try to create mum guilt in us. Apart from holding the title mum, we have a lot of other things to offer,” she wrote.
The mother of one continued to explain how she overworked herself without a nanny during her first three months of motherhood since she was scared of trusting someone with her baby.
“My first three months of being a mom I really did overwork myself, I had no nanny because I felt like I would be a lazy mom, I did everything by myself because I was scared of trusting anyone with her,” adding that she never stepped out of her gate for almost 3 months. ” I only got outside when we were going for clinics.”
The Instagram influencer also revealed that she suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth and how she used to blame her boyfriend ( Tyler Mbaya) for everything that happened.
” I lost myself so much I never thought i”d overcome it, I blamed her dad when it was no one’s fault, The moment I allowed myself to receive help everything changed for me, and its crazy that I can be in the house 6/7 days but everyone will try to make me feel bad for going out.” She went ahead to explain that the baby is always in safe hands.”Where did you leave your child? as if I left her kwa barabara or with strangers, ofcos I left her somewhere safe with people that I trust.” She added.
She also revealed that she is the only one who gets such questions, not the dad, and how that’s crazy for her. ” And it’s all crazy because her dad never gets the same questions when he is out with his friends.”
She continued by saying that she is just in her twenties trying to make it at every opportunity that she gets advising all the young mums not to let anyone make them feel bad for being themselves.
She then gave out a warning to anyone who will ever ask her such a question in public or in her DMs
“ If you ever ask me such a question in public I’ll reciprocate the energy given and if you ask me in my dm I’ll block you.”
