You know those unsolicited pieces of advice you get when you’re pregnant or even have a child with you? Sometimes they are snarky, intruding or downright mean. It can come from a stranger, a friend or even a family member (trust me… it’s happened!) How do you handle yourself? What do you say or think? I hope that you will share your Mommy Wars story on the Similac Facebook page, just like I did and help to #EndMommyWars.
Catch up with Similac on Facebook and YouTube or hit up the SoM page for more support for Parents. We’re all in this together! I am incredibly proud to be a Partner of the Sisterhood of Motherhood with Similac, and they generously sponsored my discussion starter. The Sisterhood of Motherhood believes it’s time to embrace parents who choose to embrace parenthood, because no two of us are the same, and we’re all in this together. We need to nourish each other the same way we nourish our kids. The Sisterhood (all of us!) is there to help you get through the first few days and months of motherhood with confidence — and zero judgment. And I firmly believe that’s way it should be. #SisterhoodUnite #ParentsFirst
I seriously have no idea why some moms find the need to judge each other. We are all just trying to do our best here.
Judgment is so hard to deal with sometimes. We should all be nicer to each other.
The Mommy War is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen, and I see it a lot! Like we moms don’t have enough problems without tearing each other down!
I remember walking through Target with my young daughter who had so proudly dressed herself. I was shocked a parent walked by and made a stupid comment about how people don’t care for their children, very obviously directed at us. Ugh!
I truly try to live my life by “to each their own, so long as they are not harming or hurting anyone else” and do my best to pass that same logic onto my children. We are all doing our very best as moms and I think we can all agree this whole parenting thing is not easy!
I don’t understand the mommy wars. We all just need to do what we feel is best for our family and ignore those unsolicited comments from know it alls.
I’m so sick of mommy wars. If I see them I just roll my eyes and stay out of it. I have no desire to go head to head with others about things that don’t concern them!
I remember all the advice strangers would give me when i was pregnant and the kids were little. I just tried to be polite and listen.
There is nothing better than synergy between women and nothing worse than disharmony between women. As mothers we all benefit by being on the same team.
that’s what I loved about their commercial last year – made everyone come together and stop arguing about parenting styles.
This is a great post and video girl! I hate how other moms are so judgmental. Screw them. We’re all doing our best.
Love that you are standing up for uniting moms together! Definitely a no judgement zone here!
As someone who isn’t a parent, I am in awe of how moms can do all that they do. I would never say something to a parent about the parenting style… and can’t believe anyone would!
The Mommy War drives me nuts. Some women make it out like they got certified in mom education and spew their negativity for the whole world. And when no one listens, they get louder. We are all here to try and do the best we can for our children with what we are handed in life. We all make mistakes. No one is perfect. So, why can’t we just help lift each other up instead?
You put it PERFECTLY!
I love that Similac is helping moms start this conversation. We are all just trying to do our best and we need to ignore the Mommy Wars and focus on what we are doing right!
Its so sad the motherhood community has become a place of judgment and attacks. We need to get back to supporting and encouraging each other.
I have never understood the mommy wars. We have enough on our plates. Why is it that so many of us feel the need to tear other mothers down?
