Why Moms Need to Support Each Other

Mothers Day is a day to say thank you to those special women in your lives. And a day for us mothers to sit back and relax. Wait….I have to get my child dressed, look decent, and spend an afternoon with the family??? Ahhhh how relaxing.

Often times we see negativity throughout the interwebs. Women attacking each other and putting others down. I felt compelled to share: 5 reasons why moms need to support each other.

1. None of us sleep.
So a blogger writes a really negative post? Sometimes we accidently offend one another. We fill posts with type-o’s and say things we don’t mean. Lets be realistic..how many of us have slept more than 6 hours a night in the past few years? Yeah, that is what I though. When someone offends you or says something that you don’t agree with…let it go! They probably didn’t sleep the night before. Maybe their child puked on them halfway through the post. It’s motherhood people lets give each other some slack!

2. There is room for us all.
We have a tendency to think this is really a dog eat dog world. Here is the deal, there is enough room on the internet for everyone. (to play nicely) There is enough room at the top for all of your kids to be rockstars. You do not have to tear people down to get on top. Now hold my hand lets sing kumbaya and get along. Because seriously, it is needed.

3. No parenting style is right.
There I said it. Constantly we are attacking each other for co-sleeping/not co-sleeping, breastfeeding/bottle feeding, spanking/time-outs, homeschool/public school/private school. Every area of parenting is a choice. No choice is right. No choice is wrong. Our children will all turn out to be decent human beings as long as we love them. So lets just parent the way we parent and love each other.

4. We all have been there.
Motherhood is filled with tears and happiness. There are moments of worry and strength. We have felt our hearts break and we have all felt those moments of pride. Motherhood is a roller coaster of emotions.  Lets take on this adventure together.

5. Support is the key to success.
We all want to succeed in parenthood, in marriage, at work. We want to see our friends succeed and our partners succeed. Lets support each other in all of our ventures so we can all be successful again and again.
