Live From Studio 1A: Mommy Envy

After being assigned to do a segment on mothers who are envious of other mothers, I figured that moms would be lining up to talk about this subject. But finding someone to talk about her personal experiences was a lot harder than I thought it would be. According to a recent survey, 92% of moms said they feel it from time to time.

After being assigned to do a segment on mothers who are envious of other mothers, I figured that moms would be lining up to talk about this subject. But finding someone to talk about her personal experiences was a lot harder than I thought it would be. According to a recent survey, 92% of moms said they feel it from time to time. What mom doesn't feel jealous of others for being more organized, or having better behaved kids? But when it came to getting someone to talk about this topic on camera, some shied away. They didn't want to show their insecurities to America.

I ended up speaking to a mother from New Jersey who was more than willing to talk to us. WATCH VIDEO. She had a great attitude about the whole topic, telling me she loves her kids and loves being a mom, but can't help but feel stressed out from time to time. She has two kids, and looks at moms of more kids thinking they are much better organized than she is. This woman's story echoes that of so many moms. Just this morning when the segment was airing, several moms in the studio were piping up and identifying with this mommy guilt. Natalie agreed, telling me that she is constantly envious of mothers managing multiple kids, when she's stressed out with her one son. I know that my mom would agree that motherhood is one of the most challenging, yet rewarding, occupations in the world. What do you think? Do you envy other mothers who seem to have it easier than you do? What do you do to deal with it?
