sick of women’s stereotypes

I know most people aren’t fond of stereotypes but I feel like we have it the worst. All the time we’re expected to do SO much more than everyone, especially as mothers. We take care of the cooking, cleaning, childcare, shopping, etc, on top of working but that’s “just our job or what it means to be a mom.” I’m honestly sick of people defending men for not helping or saying they deserve time off when we never get a break! How is that fair? And don’t get me wrong, I LOVE my children and being a mom. But it would be nice to have some time to myself and to get a break every once and awhile and be appreciated.

@discreetMelon6632 I completely agree with you, and I really appreciate you sharing this—it’s such an important conversation to have. The expectations placed on mothers, especially, are incredibly unfair and overwhelming. 


You’re absolutely right: women often carry the bulk of the load, and it’s deeply frustrating when others excuse or justify the lack of support. Women and mothers deserve breaks, appreciation, and the same understanding and care that everyone else is afforded. Loving your children doesn’t mean you should have to sacrifice your well-being or personal time completely.  

You deserve the time, rest, and recognition you need—and so much more! ❤️

@discreetMelon6632 I totally agree , infact this is one thing that I often feel myself too.

when you speak about it to someone in your family it always comes down to well you can stop working if it is difficult, the man can provide for family.

it has been like this forever, our husbands didn’t even play with kids or give them a bottle yours does that atleast.

worse of all oh men aren’t build like women. We don’t have maternal instincts, we can’t do household chores or take care of kods we are just not build that way.

i think men were build for hunting and being out all day doing hard labor but today the man just works a 9 to 5 job and lays on the bed rest of the entire day.

Sorry to hear you're feeling like this. Is there a way you can sit with your partner and practice assertive communication- to express your needs and wants in a respectful way? Your needs are just as important as his and if you feel that he could be taking more repsonsibility and alleviating some of yours and the stresses you feel as a result, an honest but assertive conversation could only be beneficial. Humans- including men and women- are Equal. And a good marriage or partnership should also be fair and equal.
