Let’s talk about a silent yet deadly killer in our society. Mom shame. If you’re a mom who’s never felt mom shamed for something the Lord has truly blessed you. Now, if you’re like 99% of moms in this world you’ve dealt with being mom shamed more than once. Personally, I think the worst part is that 9 times out of 10 the mom shame is coming from another mom.

Mom shame can be about anything and everything you decide to do as a mother. When/how you potty train, how your child gets fed, if you do or don’t allow your child to watch tv, how you dress your child, or even what you name your child and so much more. There is no end to what some people may shame you for.

BUT, here’s the good news, you are a great mom. As long as you’re doing what is best for your child, you are a great mom. The people spewing that hatred at you are people you do not need in your life. A friend of mine has recently shown me the importance of boundaries in life. There are some people in your life that you have to set boundaries for. Sometimes those people are friends and sometimes they’re family. If someone is mom shaming you set boundaries to help your self, momma.

Boundaries may be as simple as removing them from social media or changing your settings so they can’t see all your posts. Or maybe it’s no longer going around that person at all. You decide what boundaries you set and don’t let anyone talk you out of those boundaries.

You are the best momma for your babies! If there is someone mom shaming you I challenge you today to make a choice and set boundaries that will help you! You are loved and supported by more than those shaming you. Lean on them! If you don’t have a support system I will be your system!

Much Love, R
