<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines- A series of Facebook posts allegedly made by a working mom has earned the flak of netizens particularly stay-at-home moms. The netizen identified as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/mymy.mariano" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mymy M.</a> apparently shamed mothers who chose to stay home to take care of their family rather than prioritize their careers.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgENIJPiC6B8XGrmerGJj_Gury32qMG1AJKDrgeRv23jgQ7Us8NMMstl1RyZH1vmiIdEZ1k6lXlvLtjD2RDj8aVd9iz0k-O0lFym5yzcDzG_AtwKCZqebsbWmtunYHYIUSyv50gdJ1asrJF/s1600/working-mom-viral-mymy.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt=" Pinay working mom allegedly shames stay-at-home moms" border="0" height="537" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgENIJPiC6B8XGrmerGJj_Gury32qMG1AJKDrgeRv23jgQ7Us8NMMstl1RyZH1vmiIdEZ1k6lXlvLtjD2RDj8aVd9iz0k-O0lFym5yzcDzG_AtwKCZqebsbWmtunYHYIUSyv50gdJ1asrJF/s640/working-mom-viral-mymy.jpg" title=" Pinay working mom allegedly shames stay-at-home moms" width="560" /></a></div><br />In a series of Facebook posts, Mymy said working moms are better than stay-at-home moms or plain housewives, whom she accused of not having dignity and purpose. The working mom insisted that having a livelihood is the most crucial role of mothers in the family, particularly single moms. She also labeled stay-at-home moms as freeloaders.<br /><br /><i>“Ang pagiging non-working mom ay choice ng mga babaeng walang kwenta at gusto lang makalibre ng board and lodging,”</i> she wrote.<br /><br />(Being a non-working mom is a choice of women who don’t have a purpose and are freeloaders.)<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHM8014saF111X8G1_LoLiIJPKOgzUCLuEEHOoQQA-azqfJuhWHADru5Qt4T2PMaGKPAFYOeFXbm11ZNAkXT7XTuEh7eAjFzJ4B7fK78qk-MCXy_4apiAB6lFsNte8dCXxbeqPa_QHWb6w/s1600/working-moms-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Working mom post 1" border="0" height="261" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHM8014saF111X8G1_LoLiIJPKOgzUCLuEEHOoQQA-azqfJuhWHADru5Qt4T2PMaGKPAFYOeFXbm11ZNAkXT7XTuEh7eAjFzJ4B7fK78qk-MCXy_4apiAB6lFsNte8dCXxbeqPa_QHWb6w/s400/working-moms-1.jpg" title="Working mom post 1" width="400" /></a></div><br />In another post, Mymy insisted that stay-at-home parents can be easily replaced by maids and babysitters and are not a loss to the family if they die early unlike breadwinners. She even likened caring for the family to cooking. According to her, even if you have the cooking skills but don’t have the money to buy ingredients, you can’t come up with a good meal.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_wsTYnRW3XJOsHjqnc3Q5Cv89IR0OpjXqCfq7PmPTEds7VFqpyemFSBedm0tEwUYO5E2nMfctq2I1B2ipcnj-jbi2zIIaKvkUTBAigcqDcSJRE64u3bo1B7BPbOzELCsHFuR5SF7x-sD1/s1600/working-mom-shames-stay-at-home-mom2.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="working mom Facebook post" border="0" height="345" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_wsTYnRW3XJOsHjqnc3Q5Cv89IR0OpjXqCfq7PmPTEds7VFqpyemFSBedm0tEwUYO5E2nMfctq2I1B2ipcnj-jbi2zIIaKvkUTBAigcqDcSJRE64u3bo1B7BPbOzELCsHFuR5SF7x-sD1/s400/working-mom-shames-stay-at-home-mom2.jpg" title="working mom Facebook post" width="400" /></a></div><br />Through another post, Mymy also revealed that although she lacked the time to help her kids in their homework because she needed to work, all of her children were honor students including a valedictorian and a cum laude.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8LCfHPRDJ67Ki_3ktJYN0S_gAjGPYgR_DR54bIThRpCQt6jvkWWLAU1TYDLN3XdT7vEZVa6QNIB-XUjltIDUcEdu2ucsIGivWAZGf9Yk2_gNVXdggF75wZ5Pdc5T0gV8ykJ-_2QJuCrmO/s1600/working-mom-shames-stay-at-home-mom3.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="working mom post 3" border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8LCfHPRDJ67Ki_3ktJYN0S_gAjGPYgR_DR54bIThRpCQt6jvkWWLAU1TYDLN3XdT7vEZVa6QNIB-XUjltIDUcEdu2ucsIGivWAZGf9Yk2_gNVXdggF75wZ5Pdc5T0gV8ykJ-_2QJuCrmO/s400/working-mom-shames-stay-at-home-mom3.jpg" title="working mom post 3" width="375" /></a></div><br />Mymy wrote: <i>“Kahit p*ta o kriminal mas may dangal kesa sa plain housewife o house husband.
