Real Or Fake: Sanctimommy Social Media Statuses

little girl with magnifying glassDespite the worst mommy hashtags and usual topics of contention, spotting bonafide sanctimommies on the interwebs can be quite difficult given how easy it is to mock their self-righteousness.

2. SAHMs vs. Working Moms
