[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re not being performative for social media, and you’re not constantly complaining about all the probably unnecessary stuff you’re doing for your kids/household, I don’t think I’d consider you a “mommy martyr” personally. The “mommy martyr” types I know will complain bitterly all day that their young toddler still doesn’t sleep through the night and is constantly pulling down mom’s shirt to nurse in public, or if they have older kids, complain about the endless kid activities and tutoring and stuff, [b]while never actually taking steps to remedy these problems[/b].

+1.  The mommy martyrs I know all complain about various problems that are relatively easy to solve.  They never take any action to solve the problems so I assume they either LIKE IT that way or are true unintelligent.  For example kids who are two years old not STTN.   One thing these moms have in common is that they rarely leave the house and seem unwilling to cede any control to their husbands.  They complain about not being able to leave their child with their husband which is so strange to me.  Taking care of young kids is manual labor and anyone can do it.  If your husband can get himself dressed and prepare lunch then he can do the same with your four year old.  My guess is they these women enjoy their role in their family and want their husband to stay incompetent.

I do wonder what will happen to these moms years later.  Kids will need you less and be in school FT.  It seems like there could be some major issues later on when the mom doesn’t have anything to do and takes it out on the family. [/quote]
