Moms discuss whether working moms or stay at home moms criticize each other more heavily: 'Women get shamed no matter what we do'

We as a society tend to think there are way more stay-at-home mothers than there actually are. While around 50% of mothers stayed home with their children in the 1960s, the number has been falling ever since. As women were more able to enter the workforce in fortuitous careers, they did just that and brought a whole extra income into their families. 

Despite decades-long trends, it seems that more mothers are staying home than ever. A report found that from 2022 to 2023, the percentage of stay-at-home mothers rose from 15% to 25%. With growth like that, it's no surprise that stay-at-home moms and working moms are butting heads. One working mom made the observation that she's been getting a lot of hate lately from stay-at-home moms but doesn't see that happening in reverse. While some moms disagreed with her take, others tried to explain why the hate might be one-sided.
