Not directing my beef at maverickmother, she’s probably my favorite of mommy vloggers I’ve come across<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I don\u2019t know what it is about my general existence and the algorithms of social media, but quite often, I am spoon-fed a lot of theFacebook\/Instagram reels of stay-at-home-moms doing stay-at-home-mom stuff, and when I wasn\u2019t aware of it when I originally saw them, I\u2019m quite familiar whenever I see the acronym, SAHM.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because I am being spoon-fed this content, I\u2019m not ashamed to say that I\u2019ve seen a lot more mom vlogs than I thought I\u2019d ever see in my life, and the thing is, I feel a tremendous amount of ability to relate to a lot of these moms, because a lot of the shit they do, I do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, I\u2019ll find myself unconsciously nodding in solidarity at the bullshit moms have to deal with when it comes to cleaning, cooking, the behavior of toddlers and children, and sometimes I\u2019m pretty sure I\u2019ve been downright triggered at the fact that unsurprisingly, there are parents out there that are going through things that I may or may not be going through at the very exact same time as they are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here’s the thing though, and where my disposition tends to turn sour: these broads are all stay-at-home-moms, where all of this bullshit is the only<\/em> thing they have to deal with.\u00a0 I deal with almost all of the same shit that they go through, and on top of it, I work a full-time corporate job for 8-9 hours a day.<\/span><\/p>\n

And honestly, the ones that are being spoon-fed to me, I probably make way less money than they do, because if they\u2019re successful enough to be suggested viewing material to others, they\u2019ve accomplished a lot in terms of views, hits and general engagement, and seeing as how mythical wife has been able to monetize her own YouTube pursuits, I can only imagine what a lot of these SAHMs are making when all they have to worry about outside of their homes and kids is generating content, without the constraints of The Man\u2019s slave chain around their neck on top of everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make no mistake though, a lot of these SAHMs know what they\u2019re doing.\u00a0 At least the ones that are being suggested and fed to people on the internet, they\u2019re almost all of the easy-on-the-eyes persuasion, look good in yoga pants, obviously clean up extremely well, and are appealing to watch by just about anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

And this is where I lament on the fact that it\u2019s a shame that I too, could probably clean up on the internet if I looked good in yoga pants, and if I just so happened to be a woman too.\u00a0 If I were a SAHM, I know that I have the constitution and disposition to be able to commit to churning out content on a regular basis and not eventually abandon it like 99% of so-called content creators on the internet eventually do.<\/span><\/p>\n

But in my current state as a full-time working male whose physical appearance probably does not appeal to the vast majority of the internet whose pay grades would actually be able to support my own, I don\u2019t think burnt-out-full-time-working-dad (BOFTWD) vlogs would be nearly as fruitful.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
