Selfish, Shallow and Self-Absorbed
I am only halfway through the book...and I think that the title does not fit! I wouldn't have minded if it did, but it really doesn't (in my mind.) The essays and thoughtful and the essayists come from many perspectives. Some never wanted children, some really did and it didn't work out, and a lot are in between....but of all I've read so far, this, I thought, this is something:
"But my sister and I did not need to hear our mother acknowledge how much parenting~much of it single parenting~limited her life; we saw it every day."
~ "Mommy Fearest" by Anna Holmes
This.
