Raising America

Every day at noon on HLN, Raising America with Kyra Phillips will do what no other daily news program does: look at the news the way parents do.

Putting an end to mom vs. mom judgment

NEED TO KNOW
  • Ode to the “Mommy Wars:” like the Iliad but for moms

Why do we feel we have to go to war with other moms, insisting that our way is the better way?

For our conclusion to the week-long examination, we asked babble.com Editor in Chief Catherine Connors and TV and radio personality Mara Davis for their insight. And at the same time our conversation was going on, Katherine Wintsch with the Mom Complex was delivering a message of peace. 

"Let's AGREE TO AGREE and come to the conclusion that we are good enough. Let's find the courage to be who we really are. Say who we really are. Accept who we really are," she said. "And together, we can end the mommy wars, the wars within ourselves, and FINALLY be free." Click here to read the rest of her poem. 

What is the best way to halt the Mommy Wars? It can't always be peace, love and joy, but their answers led to a great conversation. We want your opinions, too. Tweet @KyraHLN with the #RaisingAmerica hashtag or leave your thoughts on Facebook.com.

And for more conversations like this, be sure to watch Raising America every week day at 12 p.m. ET on HLN.
