The Good Mother Myth
The Good Mother Myth was by far our favorite read. The book is filled with short stories of “imperfect” moms striving to be the best for their little ones and learning along the ways that what works for another might not be the best mothering strategy for them, and to be “imperfect” is absolutely alright in these times of a social media obsessed society. Forwarded by Christy Turlington Burns and co-authored by some talented female writers such as: Jessica Valenti, Sharon Lerner, Soraya Chemaly, Amber Dusick, and more, this book will have you relating, and perhaps being less hard on yourself, while trying to be the “ideal” mom. The short stories alternate between being funny and heart wrenching, but they all are filled with an honest and realistic perspective on motherhood.
