I received a message from someone who said I'm a supermom, that she liked how I
provide nutritious home-cooked food to my kids, and she liked how I take care
of my kids all day instead of sending them to daycare centers like some mothers
do, where they may not even feed the kids properly. While I appreciated
her underlying message that I'm doing a fine job as a mother, I was unhappy
about the comparison. I am a stay-at-home mom. But that does not
make me a better mom. If I had a professional career today--for monetary reasons and/or
for personal growth––and if I had to leave my kids in a daycare––I would have. Most certainly. Without a second thought. Not sending kids to daycare does not make a mother
a better mother. Not giving ready-made food does not make a mother a better mother. Please, everyone––a stay-at-home mom is in no way superior to
any, any other mom in this world.
