Mama Drama
Is anyone else a little tired of grown women acting like 14 year-old high school girls. I don;t know about you, but sometimes I am amazed ... and unfortunately sometimes I am not... at the behavior of some of the moms I run into. We are all on the same side here. Working moms. Stay at home moms. Young moms. Old moms. Grandmas. Single moms. Married moms... Bottom line. We're all women. We're all girls. Instead of being catty or jealous, or sometimes downright mean - we should be supporting each other and lifting each other up - afterall, we may go about it in drastically different ways, but aren't we all on the same mission to raise happy, healthy, well-adjusted kids? 4 comments from 3 users

I agree with you. I think it's a little narcissism...a lot of people are a tad too confident that their way is the only way making them too quick to judge a situation they likely know nothing about. OOoor maybe they are insecure about their own decisions so judging others helps them justify themselves....I don't know:/ I occasionally catch myself doing it. Luckily I stop to think about it most of the time and try to put myself in "their shoes" before I open my big mouth. posted by

I agree wholeheartedly.
It is such a big challenge to raise our children in the best way we can, the last thing I ever expected when becoming a parent is the drama that occurs between mothers. Although, on the plus side I have found that when you find a like-minded mother out there you have a friend for life! posted by

It is sometimes unbelievable the things that strangers (but mostly women) say to each other in passing about their children. I try to believe they are just thoughtless comments but really they come off as hurtful jabs.
I can't tell you how many of those I endured when I went out in public with my infant triplets. I knew people were judgmental by nature, but I didn't realize how open they can be about it.
I feel with all I've been through in the past 10 years, and learning the stories of the women I've met along the way, I've learned not to assume about anyone. You just never know people's back-stories and what decisions they had to make along the way to get to where they are now.Â
We are all people just trying to do the best we can for ourselves and our loved ones. Thank you for the reminder.
