CBS
May 18, 2007
"I was a Really Good Mom Until I had These Kids"
The CBS reporter interviewed the suthor of this book and sahe was really funny!:):) She talked about issues that many mothers face and take seriously; and ones that they msut develop their own perspective on.
Many mothers , it seems, think that other momsare doing a better job.The author (Ms. Ashworth) says that you can make some choices here as amother. For example, a mother can decide to;"make peace with your choice of standards as a mother."
She says another thing a mother can do is ;"make a date with your kids to spend some special one on one time with them."
Another author, Quinlan, says that society does not want to hear about the stress that mothers experience. She said that blogging is alot about expressing the difficulties of notherhood to others and getting feedback.
What do you think about what these two say? What is your view? And so You think that mothers and fathers are not supported by society because they do not want to know about the stress?Does blogging help you oversoem the stress?Let us know!
Thanks!:)
