I pity the Mommy Wars

I pity the fool who gets involved in these so called “Mommy Wars.” Why are all you moms out there fighting with each other? I don’t get it. I mean, these Mommy Wars are worse than my knock-down drag-out in Rocky III. You talking to me Balboa? No, I didn’t go see your last movie.
See, there’s actually real stuff out there worth fighting about. Like what the heck we going to do with New Orleans after Katrina. Now THAT’s worth fighting about. I even stripped off my chains for that city. But arguing over being a stay-at-home mom or a working one? I got no time for that jibber-jabber. My prediction for all you getting involved in these wars? PAIN.
I mean, I’m so sick of the fighting about the Mommy Wars that I’d rather go and do an A-Team reunion. Or better yet, watch myself as a guest star on a repeat of Silver Spoons.
Some of you SAHMs or whatever you’re called think you’re all big and bad ‘cause you see every little move of your kid every damn day. Jibber-jabber. But don’t get all smug over there working moms. Just cause you get to get outta the house and do your thing doesn’t make you all that. So shut up you working mom fools.
I say moms out there should call a truce. I don’t care if you’re black, white, stay-at-home, working somewhere, haven’t lost your pregnancy weight or let your kids watch TV. You all gotta find a way to get along. You’re all in the same damn boat. So c’mon fools, just leave the fighting for me and the Hulk, would you?
I pity the fool who doesn’t go check out the Blog Exchange, a monthly frenzy of cross-posting and cross-dressing (well, not very much cross-dressing). Find out more and see what the other participants are writing by clicking here.
Where’s your post stunts?
Mr. T and the mommy wars. That is a hilarious connection. Nice!
bwahahahahaha
I like the “strip off my chains” part.
That was *awesome*
I’m not gettin’ on that plane, Hannibal!
Heh Mr. T. Very cute.
I love that you used B.A. Baracus to call BS on the Mommy Wars! I’d get behind that movement!
Great job!
“I got no time for the jibber jabber.”
Beautiful!
You know, there are always going to be disconnects between the different life choices women make. Still, I used to be a lot more judgmental than I am today. I found myself on the defensive end quite a lot and finally had to just not rise to the bate.
I’m learning to respect a lot of different choices that women make for themselves even when those choices are radically different from my own.
Perhaps the Mommy Wars would end if each side would realize that the grass is not always greener on the other side AND that it takes a lot of manure to get your own grass that green.
Now turn off TVLand and back away from the television.
This is so cool, I didnt know Moms did stuff like this!
Hey Stunts, have fun tonight on the radio! You’re such a superstah!
Love ya,
