working moms vs sahm
why is there this weird competition of working moms against sahms all over lemon8? I’ve noticed too many posts/comments tearing the other down or trying to one up each other.
Whether working mom or a sahm - We’re the only ones who actually KNOW how hard it is to be a mom! Why can’t we unite & understand that we’re all rockstars no matter what way we choose to mom. (Also everyone’s circumstances are unique to their situation, you never know if someone HAS to be go to work or if someone HAS to stay home.)
Being a mom is already hard enough as is - we don’t need the constant mom shaming. If we’re against each other what makes anyone else think they shouldn’t be? I just think it’s really sad that we can’t see each other for exactly what we are. Especially when it comes to how hard every mom works no matter the circumstances.
Side note… shame on you if you’re a mom shaming other moms! (the irony here lol)
I just think we should all come together more and stop making this weird competition exist. We both win and we both lose! Who cares!

In recent discussions, many moms express frustration with the unnecessary competition between working mothers and stay-at-home moms (SAHMs). Both roles require immense dedication and sacrifice, yet the dialogue often turns critical. It’s essential to recognize that every mother's journey is unique and shaped by personal circumstances. The reality is that many mothers must choose between job obligations and staying home based on various factors such as financial situations or personal choices. Mom shaming has become a common issue, where mothers feel pressured to justify their decisions to others, leading to feelings of inadequacy and resentment. Instead of fostering a supportive environment, this behavior creates an unwelcoming community. We need to remind ourselves that being a mother, regardless of our paths, is a significant and deserving endeavor. Campaigns for respect and understanding can significantly improve the motherhood experience. Instead of competing, we should celebrate the strengths of all mothers. Even simple acts of kindness and solidarity can change the narrative, encouraging mothers to uplift each other rather than tear each other down. Engaging in open dialogues about each other's challenges and triumphs can lead to empathetic connections and a robust community where women feel empowered and proud of their choices. The emphasis must shift from competition to collaboration, creating networks of support among all moms in this journey. Let’s create an inclusive atmosphere that values every mother's experience.
