A mom and blogger decided to make a video highlighting the double standards that moms face.
It seems that no matter what a mom does, it is never good enough for anyone. The video is articulated in sign language, but features subtitles that make the struggle of motherhood all too clear.
"Girl gets pregnant before 25, she is too young to be a mom. Girl gets pregnant at 30, she is too old," she begins.
Working mothers are bombarded with questions about having it all. "How can she go to work and raise children?" society asks, despite recent studies showing that moms — both working and stay-at-home — spend more time doing housework and tending to children than mothers did in the 1960s. What may even be more cruel is that stay-at-home moms are accused of not living up to their full potential because they make the choice to leave the workplace.
Moms even get bullied for doing something as simple as breastfeeding their children! The judgment against mothers is unending.
"Girl gets job. How can she stand to be away from her baby all day like that? Girl becomes a stay-at-home mom. She probably doesn't do anything all day but watch TV," she says.
When asked why she decided to film the video in a bathtub, she said, "I was taking a break from my kids and enjoying my bubble bath from a long day!"
See all the ways in which moms have it rough below and SHARE if you agree.
