GEORGINA NJENGA REACTS TO MOM-SHAMING HATERS

Georgina  Njenga has had enough! The content creator is tired of mommy-shaming trolls who have criticised her parenting skills, after she posted a photo on Instagram having fun with her friends.

Georgina addressed the situation and shared her thoughts on Instagram stories, “First of all asking a mum where she left her baby when she’s trying to have fun is mom-shaming since you all try to  create a mom guilt in us. Apart from holding the title of mum we have a lot of other things we offer. 

My first 3 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 so scared of even trusting anyone with her, when I tell you I never left my apartment gate the whole 3 months I mean ata kuenda kwa duka. I only got outside when we were going for clinics.”

Njenga also opened up on suffering postpartum depression, “I lost myself  so much I never thought I’d overcome it. I fell into postpartum depression, I’d cry so much, I blamed her dad when it was no one’s fault, he always tried to tell me to even get out for a day atabaki na mtoto, my mind was already fixed that I was supposed to be there every single second. 

The moment I allowed myself to receive help everything changed  for me. It’s crazy that I can be in the house for six to seven days but that one day everyone will try to make me feel bad for going out. Where did you leave your child? As if I left her kwa barabara or with strangers, of course I left her somewhere safe with people that I trust. And it’s crazy because her dad never gets the same questions when he’s out with his friends.”

The content creator added, “I’m still a girl trying to achieve her dreams in her 20s and I’m still going to live them in every opportunity that I get. If you are a young woman going through the same, don’t let anyone make you feel bad for being you, yes we hold the title mum but that is not all that we are. Being a mum is always going to be my priority. If I’m somewhere and I get a call that something is not okay I would not hesitate to go home immediately. And with that being said, 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.”
