So much of it was true, but I wanted some answers or at least some suggestions as to what we could all do to stop making our lives so crazy.

I think it's that little girls are told so many different things as they grow up -- they should be this or that but not, God forbid, THIS -- and when they're faced with real life as moms and adults they realize how complicated it is to juggle everything. I just wish the workload between men and women were more equitable. Moms still do so much of the grunt work at home and then they're expected to be professional on top of it. Wouldn't it be nice if we had already reached that stage where men and women share more equally in ALL the responsibilities of running a family??

Haven't we moved beyond all that judgmental shit yet?! I couldn't agree more that moms just need to get a life, and make their own decisions and then feel good about them.
