A few months ago, some of the gals over at AW and I have chatted about creating a group blog about empowering mothers. It’s about no tut-tutting each other when it comes to our decisions as mums. After all, we already receive a lot of such things from different people in society: pro-breastfeeding vs pro-bottlefeeding, pro-co-sleeping vs pro-separate rooms, pro-SAHMs vs pro-WAHMs vs pro-career moms, etc.
We want to say, “Enough of the vs. already!” We’re not fighting each other. We know we all make our decisions out of necessity, out of love, and out of our personal beliefs and understanding.
And, we also know that we needed something where we can share about the different aspects of motherhood that focuses not on the kids, but on the mums. That’s how eMothersOnline.com came to life.
We’re pretty excited about it because we want to spread the message about empowering mothers to go with their instinct, to trust their innate love for their child… To pursue their passions and to follow their dreams.
To say it’s all okay, we’re in this together. We support each other, even if we don’t always agree with one another.
Ultimately we want the same thing: To be the best mothers that we can possibly be, without losing ourselves.

That’s a great plan! I know there are many different styles of mothering, but a woman can never have to much support! Here’s to helping each other raise the future generation!

Oh man…sign me up. The main thing that bugs me already (8 months pregnant) are total strangers/other moms asking me very personal questions about my parenting plans so as to quickly explain why their opinion is better. You would think that moms would be so much more supportive of one another…instead it becomes the “mommy olympics”. So sad and discouraging…

I’ve been browsing the sites for bereaved parents blog . I know it sounds so sober but there are none. I contacted The Compassionate Friends, a world wide support group and most of these women post in forums. Anyway, I’m glad you came out with emothersonline. Maybe you might want to add Mothers in Grief.
