We have a couple of related subs you might be interested in if you're a member here.
/r/brokenmom: This is a private sub version of Breakingmom. In order to be added you will need to message the sub and also be a currently active/participating member of this group for over 3 months.
r/BreakingEggs: Food-centric posts, since a lot of our stress comes from feeding our families. Public.
r/BrMoFitness: Our fitness sub, which has been kind of dead but I'm doing an accountability post for New Years resolutions or anyone who needs a fresh start (like me!).
r/BrMoFatness: kind of a joke sub but post your food rants here if you like, it's private so you'll have to message the sub to be added.
r/BrMoPolitics: Our politics sub, it is private so you'll have to message the sub to be added. We only add active members of breakingmom.
r/BreakingBumps: Kind of Babybumps for Breakingmom. It's public.
r/BrMoHomeschool: A sub for Breakingmom members who homeschool, or want to homeschool. This one is private so message the sub to be added.
r/BroMoGamers: A newly created sub for us to talk about gaming. Public.
🎶my mod post brings all the lurkers to modmail
and they're like
will you let me in
hell no
i won't let you in
cause you don't post
in our public sub 🎶
Didn't we used to have a gaming sub also? I want to say it was BroMoGaming or something like that. Unless it went the way of the dodo.....
I just double checked. Yes, r/BroMoGaming is still around, but it's dead dead. Last post was 7 years ago.
r/bromogamers I just made to start it up again.
I just joined. I am a mother who games. I tried to join the other subs as well. I don’t know if I will get accepted or not.
wonderful! :)
Just joined too!
This is fantastic thank you!
Joined!
Perfect!!
I joined as well!
It definitely died off, unfortunately, but maybe we can revive it. I reached out to the current mod there to see if we can get it going.
Cool! I know there's a lot of moms who game, we just gotta find them!
I've been leaning into the cozy gaming more since it's easy to save and pause and all that, plus there's something satisfying about it. r/cozygamers in the meantime if you're looking for games like that! :)
A mum gaming sub, you say? I had no idea any of these existed!
r/bromogamers, so we can start fresh and get it going.
Thank you :)
I just made a new one: /r/BroMoGamers
The cooking sub is kinda dead too unfortunately
Yeah it needs some posts. I have to make a meal plan post there, since it's 2 birds 1 stone for me since I need to meal plan anyway. I like seeing what everyone else is making for inspiration.
I'm gonna join it and possibly post some cooking hacks that I use to do as little as possible in the kitchen. I've gotten very good at being a lazy mum.
I messaged the brokenmom sub last year but never heard back or got added, should I try again?
Definitely!
Oh, I totally forgot about brokenmom! I think I was a member a long time ago but must have been removed for inactivity :(. Hate how reddit just shows me the same 5-10 subs over and over and I'm too braindead to remember to check the other ones.
Reddit's algorithm is the WORST. I wish it showed things I actually interact with more on my front page but it puts repetitive stuff there instead, and days old stuff. IDK what they're thinking.
I think I'll make a post like this more often, maybe once a month or so and that way hopefully we can all remember what we are missing out on haha.
I still miss the old app!
Is there one for books? I'm currently reading a book (for the first time since oldest was born) and have no one to talk to about it!! I haven't tried any reading subreddits yet and do prefer the vibe BroMos have vs Gen pop.
We had /r/BroMobookclub but it died off pretty quickly, although if people started something there I know the mods wouldn't mind. Someone tried to make r/BreakingSpines too (like book spines).
I would be happy to join a book one
If there isn’t enough of something for an entire sub to be kept alive then maybe just a flair system here would work?
Ooh good call. The book one was fun but it felt like just a couple of us. I did get introduced to some cool books though.Â
Am I considered active if I comment but don't make new posts?Â
Yeah, commenting is participation and would contribute to you being active.

You didn't do anything wrong, we just have asshole lurkers/downvote bots stalking our /new queue. Help a BroMo out and give her an upvote, ok?

Yay! Thank you!! I just asked to be added to the homeschool sub 🥰
Oh cool, I didn't know about most of these. Thanks for the post!
This is great! Thanks Requested to join fitness!
