Part of motherhood is the inescapable feeling and conditioning that you’re probably doing something wrong. You should just be a natural at juggling parental responsibilities, looking after your home, and keeping up with your career, and be able to do it all with a serene smile on your face. It’s all bullshit, of course, but when you’re bombarded with perfect homes and wives on TV and Insta you can’t help but compare yourself.
I thought I was safe within games because while Daddies are very much in vogue, being a mother is not. So when I was browsing the eShop on Nintendo Switch this week and I spotted Virtual Mom - Job Simulator Manager which promises to “step into the everyday life of a modern mom and experience the thrilling moments she faces,” I felt like a challenge had been thrown down.
Julie (virtual mommy’s real name) looks about 24, is perfectly made up all of the time, and can apparently show you what a real mother accomplishes in a day. Basically she’s perfect and I can’t let that stand – a mum simulator can’t really be a better mum than me… can it?
