Yet, now when she is on the road working as she contends in England, she’s still stricken by guilt for having missed his nursery school graduation. In an Instagram story she elaborated on her feelings saying;<\/p>\n

\u201cI am playing in England (working) and my baby boy graduated today, … I wasn\u2019t a part of it and it was such an awful feeling. Unfortunately, we cannot be at two places at the same time. Mom guilt is real guys and it never stops.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Mothers are their own worst critics. To add to that there’s the social expectation for women to neglect themselves as a parent. So Sania Mirza reminded mothers to need to take it easy. After all, parenting is a two-man job, sometimes they need to let the fathers take charge while they chase their dreams.<\/p>\n

The Indian tennis star emphasized how important it is for her, and all mothers, to forgive themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to recognise it and forgive yourself because no matter what we do, a mother just doesn\u2019t feel like she\u2019s doing enough.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\t\t

Sania Mirza also acknowledged that is not a privilege all mothers can avail. It takes a supportive family structure for women to acknowledge that they are human too and have normal human needs outside of being a parent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am so lucky to have a family and support system that still allows me to chase my dreams. Let\u2019 be kind\u2026 to others and to ourselves too. So proud of my baby.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
