Rosanna Davison has been praised for reminding her followers that Christmas doesn’t have to be perfect.
Rosanna spoke out about the realities of being a parent during the festive period and we couldn’t agree with her more.
She urged her followers to go easy on themselves during the Christmas break.
Alongside a festive family photo from Christmas 2020, Rosanna told her fellow parents to look after themselves.
Reflecting on Christmas 2020, the mum said it wasn’t easy for her. She had just welcomed her twin boys three weeks before the holidays. Her daughter Sophia had also just turned 1.
“Looking back, it just feels like a blur of exhaustion and nappy changes and feeds. And a lot of time spent sitting around double pumping.

“We had managed just two hours of sleep on Christmas Eve and were sent back to bed on Christmas Day for a nap like two bold children.”
“We were very fortunate to have a lot of help and support in the early newborn stage – my mum practically moved in with us,” she revealed.
Rosanna told anyone expecting a baby this Christmas to not pay attention to the pressure.
“If you have a newborn baby arriving around now (or even small children), please be gentle with yourself.
“Try not to put yourself under too much pressure with buying gifts, cooking meals, cleaning or decorating the house.
She added, “People will understand how much physical and emotional energy it takes just to look after a little human/multiple humans 24/7.”
The mum couldn’t be more right. There is way too much pressure on parents to make Christmas a perfect Instagram-worthy occasion, but remember that your best is always good enough.
