Ohhh, about a year ago, Tom, you exclaimed "what society?" in reference to my tearful screaming in the middle of the night about how much motherhood really sucks in today's society (after three months of motherdom, I knew I had received the short end of the person-stick...I was melting away, fast). It was maddening to have that be your response to my lonely isolation. And I was quite ready to pick up the bed and hurl it at you with the force only a desparate mother can know (actually, I think I tried to rip apart the tissue box - and failed). But, those words hurdled my way at 3am stuck with me. What society?
So, fine. If I am not happy with how motherhood is understood and practiced in today's America of 2005, then this bitch mama is going to start doing something about it.
