She Made Her Best Friend’s Wife Cry After Saying That Being A Mom Didn’t Count As A Personality Trait
It’s pretty reasonable to say that when someone has a child, they go through a personal transformation.
There are parents from all walks of life with all different sorts of personalities. Some parents choose to still have a career, and some choose to dedicate their entire lives to being at-home parents, etc.
One woman recently got into an argument with her best friend’s wife after having a debate over motherhood being a personality trait.
She and her husband have a 5-year-old daughter named Maddie.
“I absolutely adore Maddie, and being her mother is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me,” she explained. “That said, the meta experience of ‘motherhood’ is something I just don’t identify with.”
Her best friend, Ollie, lives with his wife named, Rebecca, and their 4-year-old daughter, Beth. While Ollie and Rebecca were staying with them for a week, she had a moment with Rebecca that turned sour.
She then explained that while she doesn’t talk about being a mother all the time, Rebecca does.
Rebecca is always talking about motherhood and her daughter. Although this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, she can be judgmental towards other moms.
During their visit together, she was in her hot tub with Rebecca and Ollie. Ollie asked her if she designed the bathing suit she was wearing, and she said yes! However, Rebecca was not a fan of it and told her it was a bit much for a mom.

This sent her over the edge, and she had to give Rebecca a piece of her mind. She asked her, “What exactly does that mean? Do you realize being a mother isn’t a personality?”
Her comments ended up making Rebecca cry, and she left the hot tub. She had a talk with Ollie later, who said that her comments towards his wife were a bit harsh.
Although she explained to Ollie that it’s unfair for his wife to treat him differently, especially considering that she is a parent too. He acknowledged their differences as moms, but nevertheless, Rebecca was still upset.
When Rebecca came downstairs the next morning, she apologized to her. Rebecca said it was fine and blamed her reaction on being tired, but there was definitely still some tension there for the rest of the trip.
“I’ve spoken to other friends about this, and most say I was cold to say that to Rebecca because obviously being a mother is her entire identity, and I basically told her it wasn’t allowed to be,” she said.
Do you think her comments toward Rebecca were rude or necessary?
