No. I'm a stay at home mom and get told I'm either lazy or a gold digging free loader. It's never enough for anyone no matter what choice we make as mothers. Ignore them.

I'm a SAHM and would never think about calling a full time working mom neglectful. We're all in this together, doing what we can for our kids.

If the people at church are telling you you are neglecting your motherhood responsibilities, tell them THEY are neglecting their Catholic responsibilities of not judging others

That's shocking Angela. Like MLynn all priests I know will baptise a child if one parent is Catholic.

Ok are you not married in the in the catholic church? They do require that, at least in my diocese, in order to be baptised in the church. And then priest are human, some are better at being Christian then others. My SIL was married outside the church. When she tried to baptise her children in the Catholic church, the priest (who was apparently a drunk) told her no because her children were an "abomination." Believe it or not she has never went back.....But there are good priests and bad priests, and they set the tone of the church. They should not ostracize you. They are not following Jesus teaching.

My mom was a single mother who worked full time. Her working full time was her taking care of me. It meant a roof over my head, food on the table, clothes on my back and opportunities that would help me through life. You are not neglecting your child. You're doing a great job. Ignore people like that.

A full time work mother is not neglectful. Having a job is one of the most responsible things to be a parent.

If you were a sahm they would be saying you were lazy.Js people are rude and judgemental.Do what works for your family. In the end of raising your child, it will be between you and your kids not some random people at church that suck.

New research from Harvard business school says that working moms are "more likely to raise successful daughters and caring, empathetic sons."

Tell those people who are negative to you that they are right, first thing Monday morning you're going to go in, quit your job and start collecting government assistance and food stamps. See how fast the shut their mouths.
