I hate being a mom — trolls say I’m ‘toxic,’ but other moms agree it ‘f- -king sucks’
Parenthood can be harder than a mother — and this mom absolutely hates it.
Transforming her social media profile into a virtual confessional booth, an overwhelmed and overworked single parent has openly voiced her unabashed detestation for motherhood.
And while confounded cyber critics are scolding the disgruntled mama for her off-color comments — calling her “toxic,” “pathetic” and “disgusting” — some women are applauding her honesty, agreeing that being a parent can “f- -king suck.”
“I hate being a mom sometimes — most of the time,” admitted the mom-of-one, known digitally as @Bvd.Juju, in a trending TikTok testimonial.
“I wanna be selfish, I wanna put myself first, I wanna put my mental health first,” the Toronto, Canada resident continued, adding that she’s parenting a child with autism. “I was not meant to be a mom — especially to a child with special needs.”
In the controversial clip, which has amassed over 1.1 million views, JuJu, a professional makeup artist, lamented the hardships of raising a kid with disabilities, noting that her son’s challenges often leave her sleep-deprived and unable to properly nurture herself. She confessed that the lack of rest and self-care has waned on her sanity.
“I have no patience,” she stated. “My anger issues [are] like a ticking time bomb. i just hold it in until I can’t anymore.”
The distressed mommy even copped to banging her head against a kitchen cabinet out of sheer frustration. She went on to bash political officials for failing to provide sufficient funding to families with suffering tots.
“It’s so hard when the government doesn’t give a f- -ck about autistic kids,” she said. “These kids need therapies and these therapies aren’t cheap…I’m just really at my wits end.”
But internet trolls refused to sympathize.
“Pathetic, sad and disgusting attitude and perspective on how you view your child… give him up then,“ spat a hater in part.
“This is abhorrent. These are the women who die alone in run down nursing homes without anyone. Stop talking about your kids like this,” insisted another detractor.
However, Juju isn’t the only mama grappling with parenting trauma.
In July, a neurotic mother virally confessed that she regretted having a baby, saying she’d much rather spend her free time watching Netflix than parenting.
Several months prior, a mom named Nikki Munoz also achieved TikTok infamy when she boldly announced: “Motherhood f–king sucks and I hate it, and I knew that I would hate it, and I f–king hate it,” in a since-deleted post shared in November 2022. The snippet even earned the digital approval of actress Julia Fox.
And although Juju endured an influx of flak after speaking to her truth, she, too, enjoyed wave a support from women who despised their lifelong commitment to rearing little ones.
In a subsequent video — stamped with the hashtag #HatingMotherhood, with over 34,000 views — the mom shared screenshots of the abject adulation.
“Wow that video of ‘I hate being a mother sometimes’ resonated with me. I cried all day today. I absolutely understand you 1000%!,” cheered a fan.
“I feel you on this. My son isn’t special needs and I still hate motherhood, but I love him. He’s extremely relentless and needy and hasn’t slept thru,” an equally miffed mom wrote.
“So glad I’m not the only one that feels this way. I crashed my car yesterday due to exhaustion. My son doesn’t sleep & he has meltdowns all day,” added another.
In response to the praise Juju said, “It’s endless. I have so many comments like this.”
“If you can’t relate, this is not for you,” she asserted. “I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.”
