There’s no group of people online that are more judgmental and hurtful than mommy-shamers . While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, some people go a bit too far when they involve other people’s children .
There’s no right or wrong way to raise children.
While people seem to think they know what’s “right,” every parent has a different way of raising their children and what they will and won’t allow.
Recently, people online came for Jessica Simpson after sharing a photo of her daughter with newly-dyed hair.
She posted a photo of her daughter, Maxwell, with her blonde hair dyed lilac.
People online immediately began saying she was “too young” to be playing with hair dye.
One commenter wrote:
“So sad to see a child this young getting her hair dyed. She looked so much prettier with her natural golden locks. She still should be a child in every sense. That time is short.”
Another added:
“Don’t like it at all !!! Much better before the color. The new color make her look older than her age.”
However, there were moms who were clapping-back and standing up for Simpson’s decision to let her daughter express herself.
One mom wrote:
“Great job mom !! Allowing her to express herself and trying new things that arent permanent nor hurtful but allow her to embrace her style and set the tone for who she wants to be while not being scared to try new things and be herself – your winning mommy !!”
And, another mom added:
“Where were all these mom shamers at when i was growing up getting god awful perms! Let kids be kids jeeze!”
As more and more people began talking about it, another celebrity mom spoke out in support of Jessica Simpson.
Singer and mother Pink decided to share a little something of her own daughter, Willow, showing that she totally supports Simpson.
Pink shared photos of her and daughter Willow dying her hair blue together.
She even called out Simpson in the caption saying:
“I heard people were bummed on Jessica Simpson for letting her seven year old get her hair colored. So we thought we’d share what we did yesterday.”
However, Pink turned off her comments to make sure no more mommy-shamers could hit.
She even hashtagged the photo “oh look ma no comments.”
It’s always beautiful to see women supporting women.
But, it’s even better when it’s moms supporting moms.
It’s time to let moms do what they please with their kids — and their hair.
As long as everyone is happy and healthy — it’s no one’s business!
