MUM'S THE WORD

Woman sparks outrage with ‘horrible’ chart comparing stay-at-home and working mums

A BLOGGER has come under fire after posting a hand-written chart comparing working and stay-at-home mums.

American Lori Alexander, who blogs under the name , posted a chart on her Facebook page stating that the lives of women who have careers are "falling apart", adding that they don't feel as though they're good wives or mothers.

Meanwhile mothers who stay at home all day have "fulfilling" lives with husbands and children who "rise up and call her blessed".

The image has understandably upset a lot of women, and thousands have voiced their opinion on Lori's Facebook post, which has attracted over 1,700 comments since it was posted on December 4.

One woman commented: "Oh, dear. Bless your poor ignorant little heart, what are you on about?

"This is wildly inaccurate, and honestly you should be ashamed of yourself for spreading this kind of judgement and divisiveness."

Another added: "I feel very sorry for you and the myth you believe and perpetuate. This is not 1958 - you live in a world that fortunately no longer exists!"

The vast majority of the comments are all in disgust towards Alexander's old-fashioned views.

A mum-of-four and grandmother-of-nine, Lori describes herself as a "full-time homemaker" who has been married for 38 years.

The unpopular flowchart compared many areas of motherhood, stating that stay-at-home mums will cook nutritious and delicious meals for their children while working mums will only provide fast food or microwaved meals.

Lori's flowchart has been shared over 1,900 times by women calling her a "crackpot", "vile and judgemental" and "ridiculous".

Earlier this week, we revealed a first class passenger who gave up seat for mum and her sick 11-month-old daughter "teared up" after seeing the tiny baby’s oxygen machine.

From breastfeeding to gender stereotypes, these mums reveal why they’ve been shamed as parents.
