14 Of The Most Outrageous Mom-Shaming Comments Ever
Moms face criticism from every angle—kids, partners, and even strangers. It’s all too easy to target mothers, especially when they’re juggling a temperamental toddler and a mountain of laundry. We often endure snide remarks like “Your kids should behave better in the store!” and bite our tongues. But some comments are so infuriating that we can’t help but roll our eyes and walk away—because, let’s be honest, we’re doing it for the kids’ sake.
- You should be breastfeeding!
Seriously? It’s none of your business how I choose to feed my baby as long as they’re getting fed. If they’re not, then sure—call social services. - You should be bottle feeding!
If my breastfeeding offends you, then good luck with a Victoria’s Secret ad. My breasts are for nourishing my baby right now. Prefer a cover? Here’s a sheet you can drape over your head. - Your kid shouldn’t be throwing a tantrum here.
Thanks for the tip, Sherlock! If you have nothing helpful to say or aren’t willing to help me hoist my flailing toddler from the store, maybe keep that mouth shut? - Stay-at-home moms should have time to clean!
Hilarious! Try navigating a day filled with tiny Lego pieces, laundry piles, and cleaning up pudding off dishes. Then we can chat about chores. - Working moms don’t spend enough time with their kids.
Oh, please! Most people would prefer not to miss their children’s formative years. They may not be in constant chaos, but they definitely get their fair share of snuggles and snot. - SAHMs do nothing but lounge around.
Yep, lounging while reading to my kids or teaching them, cooking, and breaking up fights. It’s a full-time job, and it certainly can’t be done while sitting on my rear. - Your baby should be wearing socks.
Good luck finding matching baby socks! They vanish into thin air. And wrestling them onto a squirming baby? Not a chance. They’re probably in the car seat—give me a high-five for that! - Your baby should wear a hat.
It’s 75 degrees out! Babies aren’t born with those ridiculous blue and pink hats; they wear them at the hospital. You can totally take it off—trust me, I did! - Why do you always wear yoga pants?
Why do you wear suits? At least my choice is comfy and stain-free. I don’t have time for a Tide-stick in my busy life. - Children should be seen and not heard.
Tell that to the kids, who will immediately demand everything from snacks to toys. I’d personally prefer they be heard and not seen! - Your toddler shouldn’t use a pacifier.
Try taking it from her grasp! She has an oral fixation that’s likely to make her a chain smoker by eight. And no, it doesn’t affect her speech. - You should watch that video to enrich your child.
Right, because I have the time to purchase, set up, and secure my child in front of a screen for something that could bore them to tears. By the way, Dr. Smith didn’t watch those videos and still managed to become an astrophysicist. - Your child should be reading by now.
Really? Come on over and show me how to magically force knowledge into my child’s brain. Kids learn at their own pace—some pick it up at 2, others at 7. Isn’t the brain amazing? So let’s just zip it. - Your baby should sleep through the night by now.
Tell that to my baby. If you have a miracle solution that guarantees a full night’s sleep without hours of screaming, please share it with the world.
Moms encounter judgment from all directions. We might disagree on certain topics, but engaging in the “mommy wars” isn’t the goal. So when we stay silent, don’t assume we agree. In reality, we’re gritting our teeth to avoid a scene in front of the kids.
