To create a perfect family, mothers play the key role and compete with each other .

The survey found out that mothers brag about their baby"s early development in motor skills like crawling, walking or talking, or the cognitive growth such as classroom achievements of older children.

They even take pride in losing pregnancy weight rapidly, which make them to keep their houses neat and tidy or having a loyal hubby.

The Telegraph quoted a spokesman for MumPoll.com, the market research site that carried out the study, as saying.
“Mums put an awful lot of pressure on themselves to be the best at everything."

“It is impossible to have a perfect house, an attentive husband and make the greatest sponge cakes the town has ever seen all the time and yet ridiculously, mums everywhere are trying to do just that.

“It is hard enough to cope with the lack of sleep, getting the children dressed and keeping them entertained all day, without worrying about what the world and his wife are saying about you," he added.

The other study of which 3,000 mothers showed that their competitive spirit rises with their first birth reportedly “obsessed" by their peer group to crawl, walk and talk.
