Title: Mommy Wars
Topic: Mommy Wars

Discussed by Erin Smalley
with Focus on the Family www.Family.org

A liberal blogger’s opinion piece, “Being a Stay-at-Home Mother Is Not a Job,” recently went viral, reigniting the “mommy wars” debate between moms in the workforce and stay-at-home moms. Erin Smalley, Family Ministries Program Manager at Focus on the Family, says, “Divisive messages about motherhood impact real moms and the culture as a whole.” Being a stay-at-home mom is most certainly a “job” – it’s a privilege and an honor.

Erin goes on to say that oftentimes it is not a “choice” for moms or dads to work; they have to in order to provide for their families. Others must stay at home for reasons that are not always apparent. But we do all have something in common: We love our kids. “We have a heart to create a certain world for our kids and to raise them in a Godly way”. Being a parent is a tough job. We don’t need to “judge” each other simply because one works and one doesn’t. “It’s all very overwhelming,” Erin says.
