Mum met with anger after she complains that other mothers should ‘try harder’

Olivia Hayes

We’re all busy.

Whatever we have going on in our lives, it sometimes feels like we don’t have a minute to settle.

Between working, cooking, cleaning, washing, looking over homework, and actually giving ourselves some time to relax, most of our days we’re running around like headless chickens.

However, one mum took to Facebook to say that she sees other mothers on the school run who should “try harder” in the way they look.

She wrote:

“Ladies, even if you aren’t getting out of the car at drop off can you please try a little.

“I look around as I’m walking my daughter to the front door and all we see is rat nest hair, no makeup, eye bags out to wherever and I’m not 100 but I think I smell morning breath coming from these cars.

“My daughter said to me ‘mommy, you are so pretty. My friends mommies all look so old. I’m so proud of you and that you are my mommie.’

She finished with: “On the real, if my seven year old can see you aren’t even trying what is your husband thinking? Take some pride.”

Many people took to the post to complain that there are more important things in the world than looking good for your child and husband.

One wrote: “My husband is thinking ‘thanks, wife, for dropping the kid off at school so I don’t have to’?”

While another said:”I’d be so ashamed if my seven year old said something like this. We’d be having a long talk.”

What do you think of this mum’s post?
