I suppose I was not very clear. I was inferring to the general idea that it is not very kind to ridicule other people’s challenges, stress and pain.

Well, I guess we could start with human biology but personally, I find evolutionary biology particularly fascinating. We could then work our way through socio-economics and media studies, finishing up with a peek into the current state of the wage gap and division of housework statistics.

Oh, I meant the title, “Bad Moms”. I agree with you that it is tame compared to what the boys got up to. On the other hand, those guys were single, weren’t they? And one was getting married? Whereas these women are married with kids? Different life stages?

I am a bad mom and I own it. I would far rather be a bad mom than a “good mom” because everything real in life is imperfect, uncontrollable and chaotic. Moms who try and make everything perfectly wonderful freak me out. And I can’t stand that my parents hid so much from me in an attempt to shelter me from reality. I,…

Seriously! I keep saying that karma is a bitch because I got myself as kids. I look at my kids and I realise what hell I put my parents through, now it’s my turn. I have so much empathy for my parents now, but it took my kids being pre-teens to get there.

Except that the non-boat people often tell me that my boat is the wrong color, that I have done the decor wrong, used the wrong fuel, parked it wrong, drive it wrong, speak about it too much, speak about it too little, and so on and so on.

Reading these comments, it occurred to me that the only time I hear people saying that they hate kids and nobody should reproduce anyway, they are American.

Maybe a cat with chronic diarrhoea who need to be spoon-fed? Cats are freaking hard.

Oh, and being a dad is not the same thing as being a mom. At all.

Ok, but how many people have had decent parents? I would guess about 70% of my generation had messed up parents.

I do not understand what point you are trying to make. At first you say that motherhood is a basic-ass job, then you tell a story about how shitty a friend of yours life is since becoming a mom. Which is it?

Uh, it’s sarcasm.

Some of my male clients look at me like I am an idiot sometimes, mostly because I am trying to do my job on a very shitty salary, plus raise my kids alone. They tell me to relax, but what they do not get is that my mind has a thousand and one things going on and “juggling” would not at all begin to cover it.

I am so excited to see this movie. It will validate all the bullshit I go through as a single, working mom.

Some people like comedies to get away from the harshness of exactly what you are mentioning above.

Ok, print that comment and stick in a frame and come back to us in five years.

Thank you! I cannot understand how no one is getting this. This movie sounds exactly like my life. Yes, I used to be a rock star groupie and now I am losing my mind over how much sugar my kid eats and how often the teachers judge me for not sitting with my kids and doing homework at night.

Amen. I despise everything related to parent-teacher meetings and PTA type stuff. I’m a single mom and for a long, log time my kids went to a fancy school where no moms worked. I cannot put my hate (and envy?) into words.

Oh yes! I went through that! And pretty much all my girlfriends, too. Now I seriously don’t give a fuck if the postman sees me in my underwear and the place looks like a frat house.

I don’t have that much compassion for the wife of a Hollywood screenwriter. She definitely has babysitters and cleaners and can afford spa treatments. If I had all that, I would barely break a sweat.
