The New Face Of Moms

My mother's family, 1925

It seems that regardless of the advances society makes socially, people still become shocked when a mom does something, or acts in a way that doesn’t fit many people idea of the norm.  It’s a strange state, but it one of the reason that the ‘bad momma’ obsession is what it is.   A mom ‘confesses’ to something that simply isn’t  a big deal, and many people act incredulous.

Today’s face of motherhood still has many similarities to the ‘days of ole’ and there are also many differences.  Today’s moms are more likely for instance to hold down the breadwinner position in addition to ‘family CEO’ than they were in the past.

Maybe it’s hard to separate some moms with the image many hold of their own moms, or even the television’s version of perfection.  When a woman becomes a mother, she doesn’t just up and change into someone else.

She’s still herself, still likes the same things- just now she’s adding another title to the mixture.
