Being a mom can be hard.
You don’t have to be a mom to know that. Obviously, I’ll never be a mom and I certainly know it. For moms — especially now, when advice on how to be “the very best” is driving moms to distraction — there’s a lot of pressure to be perfect. But what does “perfection” even mean? How do you define it? And does letting your kids enjoy Teddy Grahams (best snack) and too much “Yo Gabba Gabba!” (fun for adults too!) mean you’re not setting them up for success?
After all, haven’t all moms felt like a “hot mess” at some point? And shouldn’t it be OK to admit that?
More and more women are showing up to rebel against the idea of “perfect” motherhood. And that’s a good thing.
That’s why movies like “Bad Moms” are so popular (and getting sequels) and why you’ll find celebs and non-celebs alike speaking out about the realities of motherhood.
And that’s why this video of Busy Philipps, who recently sat down with People magazine to answer some anonymous moms’ most pressing questions, is pure delight.
