Potentially controversial topic!

I’ve noticed a trend recently, either online or IRL, where women seem to shame eachother for making effort. Effort might include putting on makeup everyday, keeping a tidy/clean house, cooking every night. Comments like “omg I could never be bothered to put makeup on every day” or “you cook every night? hell no lol”. I recently went to a friends house for a bday party and she has two small children. She’s quite house proud and her place always looks lovely. Someone commented “omg this house doesn’t even look lived in lol” then they told her she was foolish for having white couches and she’s like “really? I just take the slip off weekly and wash it”. My husband and I are yet to become parents (currently trying!) but I get the impression that this becomes worse once kids are involved.

If I shamed someone for looking sloppy and not putting any effort into their appearance imagine the lash back.

Is this a new thing? Or has this always been around? Thoughts?
