OT “looking for advice for my mama friends.”

So every time I see someone post on the book and begin their status with that... I instantly cringe.

Why is just moms? Why can't it be dads? Why can't it be a step parent (who could be bioless) who have raised their step kids? Why can't it be a family member (who could be bioless) who is helping raise a child? Why does it HAVE to be a mom??

Things like this is way the courts etc will NEVER change... Moms will ALWAYS be favored not matter what..

So because I didn't birth the kids I live with means I know nothing about raising them...

One of the comments on this post said: "coming from a Dad we did XYZ" In my head I was like Good for him! Haha

Granted these status don't have any meaning other then looking for advice but.. then why not just say... "looking for advice for XYZ?" What about the same sex couples who have babies... they don't know anything either?

Ugh triggered haha. Rant over.

Well, those people are the

Well, those people are the type who aren't friends with any stepmothers, gay couples or single dads. They hang out in a group of suburban "mamas" and have nothing of interest to talk about other than their kids. I wouldn't take anything they say to heart. (They probably drink a lot of wine, too, lol).

LOLLL. I wasn't taking it to

LOLLL. I wasn't taking it to heart but more of an eye roll thing haha.

Suburban "Wine Mom" culture

Suburban "Wine Mom" culture is pretty eye rolly, lol. These women make being a mom the only thing meaningful about them. No wonder they drink so much.

Over the years

I've lost a few girlfriends to this suburban mom cult. They can no longer relate to other women who work or are childless. Avoid this cult at all costs.

That's so true. It really

That's so true. It really wouldn't bother me if they would just stay in their lane and weren't so judgy of working moms. I mean, we drink a lot of wine, too! Lol.

Or of childless women - we

Or of childless women - we barely exist to them! How can you be a woman with no kids?! We also drink a lot of wine!

I have a good friend who is a suburban stay at home mom and she had to distance herself from all this "wine mom" crap because it was so toxic. They would literally be drinking outside while waiting for their daughters to get out of dance class.

I have a cousin who had

I have a cousin who had children much later in life (took her awhile to find me right) so will have a 4 year old and a 2 year old when she turns 50 next year) and she is now a full fledged member of this cult. She now sits with other suburban mom's at family weddings. It's like they afraid to talk to childless people like we'll snatch their babies or something.
