The SAHM vs. Working Mom Debate: Can We Stop Fighting Already?
I’m so tired of the ongoing battle between stay-at-home moms and working moms. The endless arguments about who’s more tired, who works harder, who sacrifices more. Motherhood is hard enough as it is. Life is hard enough. Why are we making it even harder by turning this into a competition? I'm Honestly getting tired of that crap. I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that.
I’ve lived both sides. When I was home full-time, I felt isolated, lonely, and completely unappreciated. There were no breaks, no clocking out. The emotional and mental load was heavy, and much of it was invisible.
Now that I’m back in the working world, I face a whole new set of challenges. I'm juggling a job, school responsibilities, and motherhood all at once. The mental load hasn’t gone away. It has just been reshaped into something equally demanding.
Both paths come with sacrifices. Both come with stress, guilt, and exhaustion. Neither one is easier. They are just different. Instead of debating who's doing more, maybe we should be supporting each other more.
We’re all just trying to do our best, love our families, and keep it together. Can we please stop turning motherhood into a freakin' battlefield and start building each other up instead? Let's validate each other’s struggles without comparison. let's break down stereotypes! SAHM’s have real stress and what they do IS IMPORTANT. Working moms do care about their kids and what they are doing is also important.

Instead of debating who works harder, let’s take a moment to lift each other up. Leave some encouraging words here. We’re all pushing through challenges in our own ways, and that deserves recognition. You’re doing amazing! keep going, and let’s support one another! 💪✨
