I recently watched this video, I think I picked it up on facebook.
At first I laughed hysterically. I showed it to my husband and he laughed hysterically. I showed it to my colleagues, and they laughed hysterically. And then I started to think about it.
It pokes fun of the competitive mom. I get that. But it only pokes fun of one type of mom. The natural parenting mom. I’m that mom (without the self-righteousness I hope).
So, I’m wondering, does this video commit the same sin it purports to denounce?

I did see it and I loved it.

Erin,
What a kawinkie dink. I have twins too. Have you seen my latest videos? Check out my blog. http://mompetition.blogspot.com There’s a good twin one in there too.

Val,
You must be the creator of the video, well done! I had many good laughs watching it, with tears streaming down my face. I guess I’m both mothers too, a little more like the organic mom in my choices only, BUT, I have twins and that changes things. I have a tendency to over think things….if you read my blog you’ll see that. So, I’m glad that wasn’t the intention.
Thanks for commenting. I was disappointed that there was only one comment and I’m thrilled to have you answer that question because you’re the only one who truly has the answer.
Mompetition says
Absolutely not. I’ve said many times before, I am both women in this video. We have to learn to laugh at ourselves 🙂
My hyperscheduled organic grub eating kids are calling me now, got to go!
Thanks for watching,
VAL
