Powerful Facebook Post About Stay-At-Home Moms Goes Viral
A Florida-based tattoo artist, Ryshell Castleberry decided to write a tribute to all stay-at-home mothers on Facebook and it got a lot of attention!
The post was liked more than 640 000 times and its still being shared across social media.
The post has to be read by everyone to really appreciate all of the huge sacrifices Mothers make for the sake of their kids.
Some working mothers however criticized Castleberry and said that “there’s those of us who do all that AND work.”
Castleberry defended the post by saying that anyone, whether a working mom or working dad, should be able to “read the message and replace the words with words that fit [their] situation.
In the post she wrote:
“Tired of constantly hearing the phrase “but what do you do all day?”,
It all starts with an imagined situation where a husband complains to his psychologist that his “wife does not work”..
Then after the psychologist asks some questions about what his wife does, the list of tasks becomes clear – and it’s a very long list!
Q: what do you do for a living Mr. Rogers?
H: I work as an accountant in a bank.
P: Your wife?
H: She doesn’t work. She’s a housewife.
Q: Who makes breakfast for your family?
H: My wife, because she doesn’t work
Q: What time does your wife wake?
H: She wakes up early because it has to be organised. She organizes the lunch for the children, ensures that they are well-dressed and combed, if they had breakfast, if they brush their teeth and take all their school supplies. She wakes with the baby and changes diapers and clothes. Breastfeeds and makes snacks as well.
Q: How do your children get to school?
H: My wife takes them to school, because she doesn’t work.
P: After taking their children to school, what does she do?
H: Usually takes a while to figure something out that she can do while she is out, so she doesn’t have to pack and unpack the carseat too many times, like drop off bills or to make a stop at the supermarket. Sometimes she forgets something and has to make the trip all over again, baby in tow. Once back home, she has to feed the baby lunch and breastfeed again, get the baby’s diaper changed and ready for a nap, sort the kitchen and then will take care of laundry and cleaning of the house. You know, because she doesn’t work.
P: In the evening, after returning home from the office, what are you doing?
H: Rest, of course. Well, I’m tired after working all day in the bank.
Q: What does your wife do at night?
H: She makes dinner, serves my children and I, washes the dishes, orders once more the house, makes sure the dog is put away as well as any left over dinner. After helping children with HW she gets them prepared to sleep in pajamas and the baby is in fresh diapers, gives warm milk, verifies they brush their teeth. Once in bed she wakes frequently to continue to breastfeed and possibly change a diaper if needed while we rest. Because she doesn’t have to get up for work.
Castleberry then lists all occupations that Moms have
