Mommy War Protest

Good Morning America, how could you do this? How could you set up parents everywhere to take sides and judge each other, yet again? I am picking up my protest sign!


In our book "Mommy Guilt" over 1300 parents reported no appreciable difference in the guilt parents feel on either *side* of this supposed Mommy War. Both working and stay at home parents fessed up to feeling about the same amount of mommy guilt. Seems the grass is just as green, or just as brown, whether you have a fence or not. Miriam Peskowitz has a well presented argument about why the Mommy Wars just aren't so in her book "The Truth Behind the Mommy Wars".

GMA, it's not too late to give us all a call!

I feel like my firend that are working Mom's make me more aware of their struggles too. We are all trying to raise our kids.

I think the media plays it up too much. We're all on the same side.
