This post about whether mums should have careers has gone viral for all the wrong reasons

The image of the family as working dad, stay-at-home mum and two perfect children has long since been chucked out, as we look around and see families in all shapes and sizes. Over on Facebook, however, a page called The Transformed Wife which aims to “teach biblical womanhood according to Titus 2:3-5 and other related passages” seems to be suggesting that being a working mother is equal to being a bad mother.

It recently featured this post, comparing the lives of working mothers with their stay-at-home counterparts.

The heavily weighted flow chart suggests that a working mother might read a book to her children before bed, while a stay-at-home mum “reads to children, plays games, disciplines, teaches about Jesus all day long”. It also paints a picture of a working mother being too tired for “intimacy”, while the goer of a stay-at-home mum and her husband are at it like rabbits all the time – when she isn’t disciplining her children or teaching them about Jesus, of course.

1500 people have commented on the post, largely with negative comments, suggesting that this particular worldview has had its day.

Facebook user Erica Solomon Breshears spotted a glaring error in the post’s logic.

Explain that one, Transformed Wife.
