We Are Not a Neutral Mom Group And That’s a Good Thing
Many mom groups claim to be “for everyone.” They say they are open to all moms, all perspectives, all parenting styles. But here’s the thing: neutrality is often just another way of upholding the status quo.
Every Mom is not a neutral space. We are an intentionally inclusive, affirming, and justice-focused community. That means we don’t just say, “everyone is welcome.” We actively center moms who have been left out, pushed aside, or made to feel like they don’t belong in traditional mom groups.
Some people may think that makes us exclusionary. We see it differently.
Why “Neutral” Spaces Often Aren’t Neutral at All
A lot of mom groups say they “don’t get political” or “respect all perspectives.” But what that usually means is:
LGBTQIA+ moms and moms of LGBTQIA+ kids don’t feel safe being fully themselves.
Moms of color are expected to stay quiet when racism comes up.
Non-religious moms have to sit through prayers and faith-based discussions.
Moms who speak out about injustice are told to “keep it positive” and “not start drama.”
In these spaces, being “neutral” just means avoiding discomfort for those who already feel comfortable. It means telling marginalized moms to shrink themselves for the sake of keeping the peace. And in the end, it means that only certain moms truly belong.
That’s not what Every Mom stands for.
We Are Here to Center Those Who Have Been Left Out
If you have ever felt like the “other” mom in a traditional mom group, this space was built for you.
If you’ve been the only non-religious mom in a group where faith is assumed.
If you’ve been the only LGBTQIA+ mom or the only one actively supporting LGBTQIA+ kids.
If you’ve been the only mom of color in a group that stays silent on racism.
If you’ve had to filter your words, dodge judgment, or bite your tongue to avoid conflict.
You deserve a space where you don’t have to fight to be included. You deserve a community that doesn’t just tolerate you, but truly values and prioritizes your voice.
Boundaries Make Inclusion Possible
Some people may ask, “If Every Mom is inclusive, shouldn’t that mean including all perspectives?”
The short answer? No.
We do not make space for people who believe LGBTQIA+ families are wrong.
We do not cater to those who think racism isn’t a real issue or that systemic racism doesn’t exist.
We do not tolerate “perspectives” that deny other moms their dignity, safety, or rights.
This is not a group where harmful beliefs are given equal weight in the name of fairness. This is a space where marginalized moms come first.
Every Mom Isn’t for Everyone And That’s Okay
If you’re looking for a group that avoids tough topics and prioritizes neutrality over justice, this isn’t the space for you. And that’s okay. There are plenty of groups in Coweta that fit that mold.
But if you’ve been searching for a mom community where:
Your family is fully accepted, no conditions.
You can talk about real issues without being dismissed.
You don’t have to edit yourself to fit in.
Then you are exactly where you belong. Pull up your seat.
