Moms, daughters, grandmothers, sisters, girlfriends, maidens and matrons… rise with me in peaceful protest!
I’ll say this first.
It’s not a competition.
And I will not be goaded by the media into judging other women for their choices.
This kind of hype, designed to breed contempt and competitiveness isn’t good for momkind and it isn’t good for womakind. It doesn’t matter if you have children or not, you can be a part of the problem or a part of the solution.
How easy it is to judge another woman for what she’s wearing, what she’s eating, what kind of diapers she uses or how she feeds her kids. And all for what? It only serves to divide us, make us look catty with our infighting, make us look petty and foolish.
It isn’t always easy, choosing the path of least judgement. But a worthy indeavor. So I’m inviting you today to fight back. Not with a letter writing campaign or a boycott. But peacefully, by showing restraint and kindless to each other.
AMEN!!

AMEN SISTER!
Well said.
beautifully said. so, so true.
thank you! this is exactly what I’ve been trying to say.
this is so true. us moms need work together, fight for each other, even if what other moms are doing is not exactly what we ourselves would do.
we should be each others biggest supporters, and instead we are usually draw enemy lines.
right on.
An amazingly simple, yet revolutionary concept. Yes, yes, yes.
Thanks for saying it so beautifully. I love you.
Preach it, Sister.
The idea that we, as a sisterhood of women / mothers, would allow a flailing new rag trying desperately to garner attention and sales to drive another pointless wedge among our varying styles of loving our children is truly insulting. Very well done calling them on it!!
Oops… “a flailing news rag”…. I meant to say!
YES!
You are brilliant and correct and I wholeheartedly agree!
yes, cheers! Can’t we all assume that every other mom has done their own research and thought and arrived at what will work best for their own family? Just because it worked for you doesn’t mean it works for other ladies.
You said it perfectly… I don’t understand the competitiveness between some moms. Every family has different needs and different circumstances and moms shouldn’t be judging each other and tearing each other apart. All that matters is that a mom is doing the best she can for her children.
