Hey everyone, I don’t know if anyone else feels this way, but why do people act like working moms are selfish or only care about their careers? Like, they assume if you’re a working mom, you must regret having kids or you’re trying to escape motherhood.
In my family, we’ve never had stay-at-home moms not even my grandmas.
My mom’s a psychiatrist, a researcher, and runs a hospital. And honestly, people say the rudest things to her. Stuff like, “Do you think your daughter feels sad that you weren’t always there growing up?” or “How can you leave your kid with strangers and not freak out?”
What’s even worse is that most of the time, it’s other women saying this sometimes even moms themselves.
And they only say it to my mom, never to my dad. So clearly, it’s not just about parenting
it’s about gender roles and unfair double standards.
