Shweta Tiwari says 'parenting is not slavery, it is a choice' | Mother's Day Exclusive
India TodayShweta Tiwari embraced motherhood very young in her life. “When I was a young parent, I would follow society’s standards for parenting, which could be as simple as never leaving the child alone, keeping their interest above yours,” Shweta Tiwari recalled, and added that since she was a working mother, she had to brave a lot of criticism too. But, people forget that parenting is not the same for everyone.” NO SET FORMULA TO BE A GREAT PARENT Emphasising on her learning in these past years, Shweta exclusively told Indiatoday.in, “After many years of being a parent, I have realised that there is no set formula or pattern to be a great parent. I have realised this now.” Sharing from her personal experience, Shweta asserted, “It is also wrong to judge or criticise a parent who has to leave their kids' home to work. As long as the child is growing up well, and is provided for and is loved, the parents do a good job.” She mentioned, “Let’s remember one thing, ‘Parenting is a choice, it is not slavery or an obligation.’” GIVE YOURSELF SMALL BREAKS GUILT-FREE The Kasautii Zindagii Kay actress signed off with advice for new-age parents and mothers especially.
