#mommyshaming

[froody]

some modern parents today are like “everybody is mommyshaming me because I dangled my baby off the edge of the Grand Canyon. I think they’re all sheeple and every baby should be dangled off the edge of the Grand Canyon. if I accidentally knock your kid off the edge of the Grand Canyon while dangling my baby there, you should thank me”

Season 1 Episode 9

The episode opens with Vee and Baby Debbie outside the Lishman house. Debbie was a freaking powerhouse when she was young. She’s determined to find out if Steve is cheating on Fiona. Which, we know what Jimmy Steve has been doing, now, don’t we, Jimmyboy. 

Meanwhile, Steve and Fiona are at the club. Steve is building on his lie. His parents live in Michigan. His dad works for GM. Blah blah blah. Lies lies lies. Ian and Lip are sharing a joint after Liam’s gone to bed. They have a cute brothers moment. Look at their cute little baby faces! 

Ethel is praying for her son and geriatric husband. Kev and Vee are about to get kinky. Good for them! Frank wakes up in some sorority house. A woman dressed as a hula dancer pukes on him. She’s a fucking hero.

The next morning, Eddie is trying to bond with Karen, who isn’t having it. Steve and Fiona wake up together, and Fiona’s upset that Steve seems distant. Debbie is suspicious. Frank gets a call at the Alibi. His ‘settlement’ has come in. Debbie asks Ethel if sex and childbirth hurt. She thinks Ethel is lucky to have a baby. Oh Debs. Give it a few more seasons, babygirl, dontcha worry. Lip and Karen are having sex in the van outside. Carl throws a bottle of frozen orange pop just as things…explode in the van.

ICONIC. Truly, between this moment and season 2’s sprinkler moment, I can’t imagine two more perfect moments of cinematography.

Meanwhile, Debbie’s at the library investigating JimmyboySteve with a boy who has a massive crush on her.

Lip is trying to scrounge up some cash to buy Karen concert tickets. Fiona jokes around about her 16 year old brother have sex with an old lady who’s willing to pay Lip for…services. 

Kev and Vee welcome a social worker with Jonah, Ethel’s baby. They’re all stepfordy, but the very white social worker is taking on a very ghetto-like accent. Veronica is unimpressed. Sheila is hosting Eddie’s Bible group when Frank comes home smelling pukey. Debbie takes the bus to the Lishman’s. It makes me want to visit Chicago again. Garrett makes good fuckin popcorn.

Frank goes to pick up his settlement money, but finds out that Monica needs to be there to sign. I think this is the first we’ve heard her actual name? Lip is desperate for cash, and calls Steve, who offers him a job. Debbie meets Candace Lishman (aka the bitch that will scar Mickey’s perfect ass someday) and asks about Steve. She doesn’t know who he is. But then in walks Steve. And Candace calls him Jimmy. Then gives him a smooch on the lips. Truly what the fuck is wrong with this entire family?

Now, listen. Mamas you wanna kiss your babies on the mouth? Sure. I ain’t here to mommyshame. This shit is not ok! And Debbie, who is witness to this, is not impressed, locking eyes with doctor-to-be Jimmy-Steve. They have a quiet conversation with their eyes. Debbie walks out. 

Frank calls Monica then hangs up. He enlists Sheila to lie to Monica to trick her into coming home. Shelia isn’t happy, but after he makes it up to her in bed and offers to wear anything no safe word, she agrees. She calls Monica, and convinces her to come to Chicago because she’s won a teddy bear.

Jimmy-Steve finds Debbie, and she is unhappy. He tries to gaslight her, but she’s not having it. Our girl is a smart cookie! He tries to explain to Debbie that he doesn’t want to be a doctor or be like his parents. He loves Fiona. Debbie, though, knows that’s all bullshit. She tells him that love isn’t enough if he breaks Fiona’s heart by lying to her. Debbie knows that Fiona would break down and she and the rest of the kids still need Fiona. God this is tragic. She tells him that if he’s not serious about sticking around, then to just leave now. And, like, what if Jimmy-Steve had left? Maybe Fiona wouldn’t have crumbled the way she did in season 4. Maybe Debbie wouldn’t have gotten pregnant at 15 when no one was paying attention to her. This show has so many what-ifs.

But in canon life, Jimmy-Steve has bought Fiona a house. The one next door to the Gallagher house.

It looks like the next day, Monica comes home. And she’s brought with her a lover named Bob. A woman! Scandalous! 

Jimmy-Steve buys Debbie ‘shut up’ presents. Monica spots Frank after she’s heartbroken about the lack of Teddy Bear. Frank runs away to Sheila’s, where Debbie and Sheila are baking. Monica and Bob follow them, and Debbie sees Monica for the first time.

She’s visibly shaken and upset. And this is really the first we see of just how broken these children are because of Monica. Debbie runs away back to the house. Monica and Frank argue, and they are both awful parents. Two adults making excuses. The Gallaghers are having a movie night with Steve and Vee when Debbie comes home, obviously upset. She tells them Monica is back. Every single one of them looks heartbroken. God these kids!

Ian says he’s going to work, but he runs off to Mickey instead.

Monica sees her kids for the first time, and it’s heartbreaking.

Meanwhile, Kash is celebrating knocking up Linda and goes to search for Ian. He finds him and Mickey outside the purview of the cameras.

Mickey runs out, but then returns. Kash is very unhappy because he’s a perv and wants 15 year old Ian to himself. Mickey steals a Snickers bar, and Kash shoots him. Maybe it cost more than the Cup-a-Soup.

Ian runs out and heads back to his family before the cops get there. Poor Mickey. I bet he uses that little tidbit against Ian now (I: Thought you said you were gonna wash the dishes. M: Though you woulda stayed with me after I got shot in the leg for you. We all have our disappointments to fuckin deal with, huh? I: huge sigh goes to fill the dishwasher himself grumbling about it being over a decade ago). 

He finds everyone watching Frank and Monica still arguing over at Sheila’s. Later, he and Lip share a cigarette and Lip has this great line.

But then he finds out that Frank is the one who called Monica, that he knew where she was the whole time. Bob announces that they want to take Liam to raise together. Fiona and Lip are obviously not letting that happen. And Fiona gives one of the greatest speeches ever written on television maybe?

God this scene is heart shattering. Monica begs Debbie and Carl to let them be their mom again, and these kids are babies. They obviously hug their mommy. Lip watches, and Ian cries, and Fiona walks out. Debbie and Carl push Monica away.

Steve finds Fiona and takes her to the house he bought her. And everyone is left heartbroken. 

There’s really no indication on what day it is. A lot happened in this episode, but it all happened over three days, probably a Friday-Sunday, since Debbie heads to the library in the morning and not to school. Maybe somewhere late January/early February? We’ll see where the upcoming episodes place this, maybe.

mommyshames the woman from the babadook

[anonymoushouseplantfan]

Using a carrier improperly (as she is absolutely doing) can seriously harm or even kill a baby. This is it, it's a bridge too far. Surely people will see it this time? Sigh. They won't, will they?

Stop the #mommyshaming!

But seriously, you’d think she would know how to hold the baby by now.

Did everyone see (&LOVE) @CardiB’s very pregnant #Coachella debut this weekend? She was adorable and having so much fun and I LOVE #invasionofprivacy She’s absolutely killing the game, topping the charts, all while staying true to herself but people (unfortunately) still have SO MUCH to say about her getting pregnant. Unsurprising because it seems like everyone’s a critic when you’re a mom, especially a young one, a working one, a black one, one from the hood. “Why can’t I have both?” Cardi  wants to know (and so do I tbh) She’s a grown woman and a millionaire and she’d like the haters to know that she can make her own decisions!Motherhood is already STRESSFUL AF and the rampant #mommyshaming criticizes women when they don’t adhere to the rigid ‘perfect mommy’ image. And then we’re surprised that 1 in 7 women experience postpartum depression (& continue to be critical of that as well)? Can we give mommas a break? Let’s be more understanding, more supportive & less critical of all moms and do our part to help them raise the next generation in peace OKUUURT 🤰🤱👼 ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ ✨ #theellery #mentalhealth #blackmentalhealthmatters #blackmotherhood #Stressawarenessmonth #cardib #boachella #blackpsychology #ivyleague #ppd #columbia #postpartumdepression #newmom #mamasinmedicine #afrocaribbean #bartiercardi (at Coachella)

There’s fat shaming, slut shaming, food shaming—so many forms of shamification (is that even a word?). They all stink. Let’s focus for a minute on mommy shaming. I’ve actually wanted to write this blog for a long time, but I didn’t want to be that whiny mom who complains about everything, then realized I’m already her—so what the hell? I might as well educate y'all on etiquette. Do you know someone guilty of these shameful jabs?

[jayfederjewelers]

@mommydearestinc I was debating whether or not I should post something about this. However tonight I got a DM from someone I have never met, who chose to tell me how my general attitude towards my daughter was "gross", "disgusting", "awful" and "negative". How I obviously don't appreciate having her, and amongst some other things that were thrown my way, "how I should have another child so I can make fun of that one also". This was all in response to my insta-story. I was told that I lost her business and how negative I seem to be as a person. As nearly every response I had was laugher, encouragement, and smiles I assume that most of you who watched the story commiserated and understood that while she drives me absolutely crazy, I love her more than I can possibly express. And yes most days if I don't laugh I'll cry. Parenting (no matter if you're a stay at home mom, working mom, or work at home mom) is stressful, challenging, rewarding, amazing, and an uphill battle. Being real and honest and authentic is so important to me so here's to being a not so good mom, who publicly complains about her daughter, let's her watch tv, pushes off going home, and overall just tries her best! #mommyshaming #endmommywars #mommitment #jayfederjewelers #whosyourjeweler #jfjfamily

This Monday...

Our next episode may be a bit controversial but it’s a discussion we are very proud of.

Topics include: why DK & Dani do not want to have kids, why #MommyShaming is total bullshit, why one person’s happiness isn’t the same as another person’s, how we came to our choice of not being “moms”, and the importance of supporting everyone in their choices regardless.

Lush Talk About Kids (or lack therefore).

The Happy Mommy Blog

I know a lot of moms. Some stay-at-home moms, some working moms, some happy moms, some angry moms… moms of all ages and life situations. Throughout my many years of knowing moms, one common thing I’ve heard from pretty much every one of them is a sentence that starts something like this “I love my kids, but…” The second part of the sentence is often some sort of very legitimate complaint. “I love my kids, but I’m exhausted all the time.” “I love my kids, but I miss having the freedom to travel and pursue my hobbies.” “I love my kids, but I feel like I’ve lost my sense of identity.” “I love my kids, but sometimes they drive my insane.” “I love my kids, but I haven’t been able to take a crap without someone calling for me or knocking on the door in over 8 years.” For years I heard these statements as a cautionary warning from moms who were desperate to share their frustrations but afraid of what I might thin of them. Behind each of these “I love my kids” sentences, I sensed the underlying guilt that moms carry for even suggesting that they may have moments when being a mom sucks or that they don’t always enjoy it. They reluctantly whisper these sentences under their breath and always, ALWAYS with the mandatory “I love my kids” preface lest, God forbid, someone suggest that they’re somehow anything less than a perfect mother. Ashamed, guilt-ridden, and exhausted, they reluctantly confessed their struggles hoping for some miraculous solution or advice, and then immediately feeling terrible for revealing their frustrations. I never quite understood this seemingly unnecessary feeling of shame... until I became a mother myself.

To be clear, I was never sure I wanted kids. Growing up, I was far more interested in traveling and having adventures than the idea of settling down and having a family. I’d say a large part of this stemmed from my upbringing. Throughout my childhood and adolescence my mom alternated between two states - frantically cleaning the house and exhausted with a headache. In fact, to this day I have no memory of my mother ever sitting down on the couch and relaxing - SERIOUSLY. My mom was your typical Italian mother, meaning she did EVERYTHING in the house, including making her children’s beds every morning until the day we moved out to go to college. Did I mention that she also had a full-time job? Crazy. So it’s no surprise that seeing this exhausting routine left me with no desire to have a family of my own - if this was motherhood, no thanks. I’d rather be drinking sangria on a beach in Barcelona. And that’s pretty much what I did for the next 20 years. But fast-forward to the age of 35. I was living in London and deeply in love with my new husband. We weren’t necessarily trying to have a baby, but we’d spoken about having a family and were both on board. By then, I had gained enough life experience to realize that children are capable of making their own beds and good husbands can be relied on to carry half the housework in the home. And then, before I knew it, I was staring down at a positive pregnancy test in the bathroom of my office. In an instant, years of hearing my friends say “I love my kids, but” rained down upon me. Was my life over? Did I have to become a whole new person now?

I made two major decisions that day: 1. I was keeping the baby. This was a decision that both my husband and I made together. We wanted a child and were excited to start this journey. 2. I was going to do everything I could to enjoy motherhood and still have an enjoyable life, something that ALL mothers deserve. Decision #2 has proved to be a lot harder to stick to than I imagined, and on some days it feels like the deck is stacked against moms being happy, but consiously having the goal of happiness as a mother has helped to identify these joy-stealing moments and negative influences and change them or tune them out as best I can. And I’d like to share this journey with other moms, so that perhaps we can all bring a little more carefree joy back into motherhood. Because having a stressed-out and exhausted mom is no fun (believe me), and what’s ultimately best for our family is for us to not lose our freaking sanity.

So that’s the goal of this blog. A little way for me to share the quest for happiness with all mother. Because we fucking deserve it.

Poll: Most mothers have been 'mommy-shamed'

Poll: Most mothers have been ‘mommy-shamed’

[ad_1]

MONDAY, June 19, 2017 — “You’re doing that wrong!”

Sound familiar, Moms? It should: A new poll finds that six out of 10 American mothers say they’ve been criticized for their parenting skills.

It’s called mommy-shaming, and it goes viral when it happens to the famous. Actress Reese Witherspoonwas shamed for giving her toddler cinnamon rolls for breakfast, and model Coco Rocho was judged…

[lisianthe]

I am absolutely mommyshaming she should know better than this wtf

my friend is having her baby in like a month and only has the bare bone necessities because. People aren't buying her things from her registry list. Because she exclusively wants expensive organic things.

[zoobus]

There are two people in my course who've devoted themselves to making people recognize breastfeeding as crucial and they both made it sound like it's an extremely controversial subject. 

I thought that the controversy was focused entirely on public breastfeeding not...that breastfeeding itself was unpopular? Or that they have to fight the stigma of breastfeeding being inferior to formula
