I really don't understand the judgment between being a working mom or a stay at home mom. If you need to work, work. If not, don't. No need to degrade other women for doing the opposite of you. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I’ve been both, and both are HARD AF. Being a mom is hard enough, why can’t we just be chill?!
I think it’s because each one is jealous of the other for different reasons so both will judge / be cruel for no reason. Much like bullies do
I’ve done both! I wasn’t built to be a SAHM. I need and crave adult interaction. And with a toddler it’s nice to have some time to miss her!
I agree with this 100%. Unfortunately you see lots of subtle or not so subtle digs at other women. It’s irritating.
It really is because we're all just trying to make it in life but there's always the few that have to be petty and judgemental. 🙄
I was a stay at home mom for 16 months of his life. Just started my job yesterday and honestly, I love it. I have that social interaction with adults. I get to see more babies and children and get ideas on how to parent better. I miss my son all day the whole time I'm gone, but its only a part time job and it's just for extra spending money so he can have what I didnt have. I grew up very poor and with a father who was mentally sick and had substance abuse problems. I watched my mom work several jobs just so we could have canned soup for dinner and have a house to live in. Is she a bad parent? Hell no. She did the best she could with what she could and I know there were times she went without so we didnt have to, but at the same time, I dont want my son to live that way because I dont ever want him being bullied for his clothes or bullied for not being able to afford lunch at school, I just want more stability for him than I had and I dont think that should be an issue....... I support both working and stay at home moms. You dont know what situations people are going through so it's not right to judge. We all just love our kids unconditionally and that should be what matters?
I choose to work because I love my job. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a job they love. I couldn’t give it up even though I don’t NEED to work. Some moms love to stay home with their kiddos and being a mom is their job... To each their own. 😊
And that's awesome! My point exactly. Every mom and every family is different. Nothing wrong with that.
Looking back on my life, I’ve never wish that my parents would have had more money. I don’t wish that I would have gotten more from their deaths. I wish I had more memories of them. I wish I had memories of them playing horses with me or helping me with softball or cheer instead or always working and worrying about money.
I don’t want my kids to look back on their lives and regret not having enough time
This. I already have "friends" throwing shade because I'm able to be a stay at home mom until she heads to kindergarten. I'm extremely fortunate to be able to stay home while our kids are little. We planned it that way though so I could. I feel bad they don't have the same opportunity but it isn't fair I'm already getting judgement for it. Being a mom is hard no matter how you cut it. I've actually even been a nanny part time for a SAHM who just needed a break a few times a week. 🤷🏻♀️ Let's all just be thankful we get to be moms. 🙏🏻
Are people really judging this? Why is this still happening. I can’t say that I’ve ever felt judged because I’m a sahm. Was it here or irl?
As a mother for 23 yrs of my life we all do what’s best for Our Families. I personally like to work since I was 16 and after having my 3 rd son yrs later I leave work early”my job isn’t hourly its salary and so I spend as much time as I can with all of my family, But, let’s BE Realistic I rather bust my ass working so my children live the life I like to give them by working hard myself too not just get by . I’m grateful my toddler can stay home with his dad while I work and once I am home his dad goes to work “that works for our family
Exactly. That's what works for YOU. Not everyone is the same.
I think either way it’s hard work 😓 I’ve done both rolls 😩
Agree. Some of us moms can't work I have a 1 yr old with a disability! She is my job, not that its anyone business.
What if I wanted to work as a stripper....would you judge me?? Lol jk jk #MakeItRain
Why can’t you just keep scrolling ? Too many people take things real personal on this app. LOL
Women who judge others for that should stick their opinion in their butt lol 💁♀️😁

Exactly. It’s called RESPECT
@doubleksmommy, SANG IT GIRL
exactly 🙌 your still mom no matter what lol
If you only live off the government and you not your significant other don’t work you shouldn’t be planning more kids🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️

Are mom friends a must when you are a new mom? What about a seasoned mom? The short answer is yes, you do need mom friends.
