MIL hates SAHM’s
When I shared the decision that I wanted to be a SAHM to my mother in law she immediately voiced her opinion about how I’m wasting my degree, how SHE loves working, how that’s going to be hard on my husband etc etc. Clearly was against my choice. Two years later and I’m still loving my choice :-)
She has a big career and always has. Always had Nannie’s and au pairs. She never asks me how it’s going being a SAHM, but she will ask the person next to me how work is.
Lately she has been trolling SAHM reels on Instagram and I can see what she comments.
“My friends who didn’t work, don’t have the respect of their kids”
“You should work so you have a good relationship”
“SAHMs are shaming working moms” ???
This goes on day after day. I can’t believe this grown woman is doing this and knows her daughter in law is one and could see her comments. How am I suppose to face this woman who thinks kids don’t respect SAHMs? She was never around for her kids growing up because she values independence and her career over everything. I’m truly at a loss for words
