Potty training and sleeping through the night have been revealed as the most pressured milestones that mums want their kids to achieve, as shown in a survey by Huggies Pull Ups.
The study, which looked at 2,000 mums with children under 7, claims that three quarters of mums found other parents competitive over whose child reached important milestones first, with more than half admitting to feeling ‘uneasy’ when questioned over their child’s milestone success.
One in ten mums in the survey confessed to being ‘really pushy’ while the same amount has even lied about their child’s progress in a bid to fend off criticism.
