If you have facebook, I am sure you have seen the post called "Dear Mom on the Iphone". You can read a copy of it here. When I first read it, I felt awful and pissed. I felt awful because yes, I am guilty of what this author was referring to. I was pissed because I felt like "Why is the world do we have to continue to place such guilt trips on mothers?". From whether we are feeding them clean foods rather than Capri Suns and chips or how much time they spend on your iPad, mothers can never catch a break (don't even get me started on the never guilty, most beloved Daddy's). Okay, now I am getting snarky.
ANYWAYS, this post popped up this morning and I could not have said it better than this blogger. It was her answer to the first post and I was practically clapping by the time I finished reading. Here is the post and go read it NOW!
Nothing better than a strong Mama rocking our socks off and getting er done!! I know I am ready to tackle this day and pretty much...the world :)
Love ya strutters!!!

Thank you so much for sharing this! I wish so much that women could be more supportive of each other...why does that seem to be so difficult? I needed to read this, so thanks!

Absolutely amazing! Thank you SO much for sharing! I saw that thing after someone had reposted it on Facebook last week and all I could think was "who the heck is she??". That whole paragraph about texting the Dad videos and him responding and what not brought me to tears... Between deployments, military schools, the Marshals gig, and just life... that's been how my husband & I have been the entire 5 years we've been parents. Thank you SO much for sharing!!
I'm new to your blog and really enjoy it. I'm pregnant with my first baby, and am so excited...and so stressed/guilty ALREADY, as I know I will be a working mom. So thank you for passing on this article, which reassures me that other moms will understand that it's all a balancing act, and we need to give each other breaks and respect each other. There's a balance between being 100% focused on your kids and capturing those memories, and taking a few moments here and there to focus on yourself and the other parts of your world. Thank you so much...I am eager to be in the mom community with someone like you!
Thank you so much for posting this! I absolutely adore your blog and you!! You are completely genuine! xo
