Many moms who use social media are used to frequently being shamed and judged by other moms every time they post a photo or video of their children.
We're not sure when it became okay for people to mom-shame others, but it's about time someone put an end to it.
Your family will always try and tell you what you "should do," especially when it's your first child and your siblings, or cousins, or even your parents, have had children before.
Moms who use social media know that when you share anything online, it opens the floodgates to comments and unsolicited advice.
That's why moms everywhere are being as candid as possible online with their opinions on mom-shaming and why it's so wrong and dated.
Pink opened up about how online comments had taken a toll on her and her family in an interview on Ellen earlier this year. The comments got so out of hand that she said she would stop posting photos of her kids.
In response to the comments criticizing her for letting her son walk near "hard surfaces", Chrissy wrote, "I have to block like 20-30 people every time I post my kids."
"Girlfriends, I got to get something off my chest. My house is never clean. Like ever. I have friends (with kids) whose houses are spotless. Are they better mothers than me? Nope. Am I a better mother than them? Nope," she wrote in her post.
"I work out every day. I have mom friends who don't exercise. (I mean other than running around like crazy people after their kids). Does that make either of us a better mom? Nope," she said.
She even ended the never-ending "stay-at-home moms versus working moms" debate with one word:
"Are stay-at-home moms better than working moms? NO.
Are working moms better than stay-at-home moms? NO."
"I drink a beer or glass of wine (sometimes in front of my kids!) on occasion. I'm a good mom. My neighbor and good friend doesn't drink. Also a good mom," she said.
"I have friends who are super organic, chemical-free, and dye-free. My kids sometimes eat popsicles for breakfast. The cheap kind that are 50 for $2.00. Are either of us better than the other? Nope," she said.
"I'm a Christian. My friend and neighbor is Muslim. Another friend practices no religion at all. WE ARE ALL GOOD MOTHERS," she said.
"So how about this? Can we all climb down off judgmental mountain for a second? And just support one another? And just say, Hey, motherhood is hard. You're doing a good job. Raising kids can knock the wind out of a person. You got this. How awesome would that be? Just a thought," she said.
One mom wrote: "Thank you for posting this. I needed this today more than ever. For all the moms who don't get told enough or some ever Y'ALL ARE ALL GREAT MOMS. And you will make it through the day and wake up and make it through the next. Go moms!!! I appreciate all of you!!!"
All moms parent differently. Some moms work, other moms stay at home.
No matter what you decide to do as a mom, don't discredit the amount of parenting, love, and care another gives her child. Remember, we're all doing our best!
"I needed to read this today! I'm sitting here almost in tears because my sister in law made a comment about how I could do something cause she is so busy at work! Like she is less available and more important than me cause she works! I use to have a 40 hour a week! But everyone looks at me now like I am just a servant! Your page always inspires me when I feel alone! Thanks SAHM!"
The social media outpour of hate and disrespect towards stay-at-home moms tends to be pretty high — especially from moms who go to work every day.
