Kylie Jenner Got Mom-Shamed And The Internet Wasn't Having It

Kylie Jenner is a mom, but she is also a 20-year-old, and both moms and 20-year-olds are allowed to have fun. So when a gossip blog called out the reality star for spending some time enjoying herself at Coachella this past weekend and not being with her 2-and-a-half-month-old daughter Stormi, no one was having it.
Whether you are a fan of Kylie's or not, calling out any mother for taking time to just enjoy life on her own is not acceptable. Being a mom is one of the hardest jobs out there and every mother deserves a break every so often.
The whole thing started after Kylie posted a photo of herself at the annual festival, captioning it, "I'm not a regular mom I'm a cool mom."
When a gossip blogger used it as an opportunity to slam Kylie for leaving her daughter at home, the internet went after him.

First off, they pointed out how what she did was actually pretty responsible:
as opposed to brining a newborn to a loud music festival full of drugs and drinking?

I can't believe Kylie Jenner didn't bring her newborn to a sweltering hot, dusty ass desert full of people drunk and on drugs https://t.co/MleBjtZaOA

OK? What? You want her to bring the baby to come party as well? https://t.co/ERf1ZVEMCT

That's better than taking her to Coachella.

Others explained that parents are allowed time off:
Y’all acting like you’ve never had a babysitter before chill

Parents are allowed a break

do parents not deserve time off?

And then there is the double standard with mom-shaming and not dad-shaming since Stormi's father, Travis Scott, was also there:
So Stormi only has one parent? Cause her daddy was there also, why isn’t he being talked about?

Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of mom-shaming.
