The past few days all I’ve read about on various parenting/family blogs are lists about “things you should never say” to a stay-at-home mom or to a working mom. I’m so sick and tired of these ridiculous mommy wars.
All mothers are working mothers, regardless if they stay at home or have a job outside the home. No one type of mother is better than another. Moms should just focus on being the best mother they can be for their own child/children and not maliciously or callously judge others.
Instead of focusing on what not to say to each other, how about we focus on the things we should say to each other as moms, being supportive. Here’s what I say to other moms:
- You’re doing a really good job, you’re a good mother!
- Here’s my number. Please call me if you ever need some help.
- You must be so proud of your children/family.
- You always do what is best for your children/family.
- You look fabulous!
Now it’s your turn to share. What positive thing would you say another mom?
