Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 224


In our mothers' day there were good mothers, indifferent mothers, and occasionally, great mothers. Today we have only Bad Mothers: If you work, you're neglectful; if you stay home, you're smothering. If you discipline, you're buying them a spot on the shrink's couch; if you let them run wild, they will be into drugs by seventh grade. Is it any wonder so many women refer to themselves at one time or another as a 'bad mother'? Writing with remarkable candor, and dispensing much hilarious and helpful advice along the way - is breast best? what should you do when your daughter dresses up as a 'ho' for Halloween? - Ayelet Waldman says it's time for women to get over it and get on with it in this wry, unflinchingly honest, and always insightful memoir on modern motherhood.
