Unrealistic expectations, social media, and exhaustion contribute to guilt.
Memory-Keeping as Emotional Grounding
Looking back helps parents see their effort, love, and growth.
Not About Perfection
Memories don’t need to be happy to be meaningful.

Saving memories privately can reduce pressure and comparison.
