Preferred term

mommy wars  

Definition(s)

  • Mommy wars is a term used to describe the troublesome division that separates mothers based on their different choices rather than aligning them based on their shared experiences. In particular, this divisiveness is targeted at middle-class mothers and their choice of either working in the paid labor force or staying at home with their children. [Source: The Social History of the American Family: An Encyclopedia; Mommy Wars]
