Your husband compared a reporter to a female dog the other day, read one top-ranked reply.
Motherhood has never been dishonored, wrote another. The only thing that dishonors mothers is when a husband cheats on his wife with another woman and fathers a child out of wedlock. You might want to address that with both your husband and Pete Hegseth.
A third commenter dismissed the piece as out-of-touch theater: She lives a life of excess and materialism and shes telling motherssome who work two and three jobsto do more at home but make sure they take time for self care? She has raised an entitled nepotism baby and has done NOTHING with her platform as first lady. What a disgrace.
Others questioned the byline outright. Donald Trump, five children from three wives, and brags about grabbing them by the you-know-what. Theres a moral voice for you, one wrote. Does Bezos devotion to the Trumps have no bottom? Also, clearly not written by Melania.
