If You’re Not Born a “Good Mother…”
If you’re not born a good mother in your own definition, is it possible to become one?
I don’t think being a good mother is making organic brownies from scratch every day, and being president of PTA. I think being a good mother is not taking it personal when your kid pushes your buttons. Not wanting to do something bad when that happens. Not wanting (or doing it) to cry every single night after a meltdown. Not wanting to be in a perpetual state of frustration.
Is it possible to change the fundamentals of motherhood when that’s what they are?
