I think that when you are a mum of the stay at home or work variety people feel they have a right to have an opinion on your parenting. I am a working mum and have had several comments from close friends and family suggestiing I am not as good as a mother as friends who stay home.
DH and I share parenting and ultimately want to both work part time, Unfortunately my job means I have to work more in the next couple of years and DH stays home more. I have felt extremely judged and shed many tears. I wish we could be more supportive of fellow parents, No matter how yits done its a hard, wonderful job. Bellybelly is a lovely supportive environement and I feel happy to have found it.
