Reflecting on “Our ‘Mommy’ Problem”
In case you missed it, “Our ‘Mommy’ Problem” was an opinion piece published recently in the New York Times about how women lose their individual identity when they become moms.
It caused quite a stir in the online community Real Mom Guest Post with many women agreeing with Heather Havrilesky’s lament of her pre-motherhood identity and lifestyle.
If you’ve read anything I’ve written (including Real Mom Guest Post my post with the exact title she snarkily admonished at the end of hers), you can probably guess that I, on the other hand, didn’t relate to the “problem” written about in the article.
I don’t particularly mind being referred to as “mommy”, nor Real Mom Guest Post do I consider parenting an “increasingly high-stakes game”. Most importantly, I do not agree that I’m “still the same underneath it all.”
I don’t know about you, but motherhood did change me. I Real Mom Guest Post am not the same person I was before I became a mom, just like I’m not the same person I was before I became a wife. And I’m grateful for that. But I don’t disagree with the NYT piece entirely. Especially when Heather writes:
“Motherhood has been elevated — or perhaps demoted — to Real Mom Guest Post the realm of lifestyle, an all-encompassing identity with demands and expectations that eclipse everything else in a woman’s life.”
So, what is it that is often included in the “everything else” that gets eclipsed by our identity of motherhood? Ourselves, sure. But also, our spouses. That, in my opinion, is the real “problem.”
Time and again, I see women – myself included – focusing Real Mom Guest Post so much on our vocation (little “v”) of motherhood, that we forget that our actual Vocation (big “V”) is to marriage.
Through the grace of our baptism, we are each called to a Real Mom Guest Post particular vocation. And Pope Francis reminds us that marriage is a real vocation, just like priesthood and religious life.
Marriage is a sacrament, a way for us to participate in the Real Mom Guest Post Trinitarian life, a path to holiness. And when I received this sacrament, I made vows to my husband.
To be certain, women are also called to motherhood (all women, not just those who become mothers by birth). And by answering our call to the vocation of marriage, we open ourselves to the life that results from our union.
But that’s an important point to remember; that my children Real Mom Guest Post are the fruit of – not the reason for – my marriage.
I love my children. They are wonderful blessings, and I am so incredibly grateful to be their mom.
I’m sure that you feel the same way, which is why it’s so important for us to remember that our identities as the mothers of our children should not eclipse everything else in our lives. Especially not our relationships with our husbands.
For not only is it the love we share with our husbands, the union of two flesh into one, that resulted in the beautiful gift of our children and our chance to embrace the role of motherhood to begin with, but it is also our relationship with our husbands that reflects Christ’s relationship with the Church. It is from this relationship that we form the domestic churches of our families, through which our children learn about God’s love for them.
And so I challenge myself to make my husband as much of a priority as I make my children. To give him the undivided attention I provide my sons throughout the day. To make him feel appreciated, cherished, and loved. To kick the habit of giving so much of myself to my boys, that by the end of the day I don’t have enough left for my man.
The “Mommy problem” article was right; I’m not just a mom. I am a woman. A Catholic. A daughter, sister, friend, and employee. And, I am a wife. Who is very much in love with her husband, and with the beautiful life we are creating together.
Conclusion
Embracing the role of motherhood is a profound and transformative experience, but it’s essential to remember that it’s just one facet of our identities. As women, we are multifaceted beings with various roles and responsibilities. While motherhood is a significant part of who we are, it should not eclipse our other identities, especially our roles as wives.

By balancing our dedication to our children with our commitment to our spouses, we create a harmonious and loving environment that nurtures the entire family. Remember, our children are the fruit of our marriages, and our relationships with our husbands reflect Christ’s love for the Church.
