Mothers 'tell white lies at school gates'

January 17 2011

Mothers 'tell white lies at school gates'

A recent study has revealed that most mothers have told white lies about their parenting skills in the past.

The poll, which was carried out by Netmums, found that two-thirds of parents have fibbed at the school gates about how much television they their children watch and how healthy their diets are.

According to Netmums, mothers are making each other feel "inadequate" by not telling the truth.

"No one is born knowing how to be a parent – you get along the best you can," said Siobhan Freegard, the website's co-founder.

"We hear from mums all the time who are struggling with all the conflicting advice being given to them about how to reach parenting perfection – and who are coping with huge amounts of guilt when they don't achieve this."

The website has launched a new campaign for 2011, urging parents to be honest with each other and realise that it is acceptable to ask for advice and guidance from others.
