I'm a better Mom than she is ...

I have added a new feature to the site...Books I recently Read and Recommend. These are books I have either just finished (Bastard out of Carolina) or am currently reading (1-2-3- Magic). I really just want to share things that I am enjoying right now with everyone. I will let you all know how 1-2-3-Magic works out since it is a discipline book.

Bastard Out of Carolina is a book that has been at my bedside for a little while now and I just finished it about three days ago. If you haven’t read it, just do it. It is worth every minute. Also, I can say without a doubt that I am a better Mother than the one in this book, I say that not only because she is fictional but also because she is awful and I need the ego boost. So, if there are any other Mother’s out there who feel like they too may be doing a shitty job as a mother then they need only read this book, you will laugh you will cry and in the end you will know that at the very least you are a better Mother than that lady. That would be mean to say if she were real and not in fact a fictitious character but to be honest you could secretly say it to yourself even if she were real because she is that bad. Also, if you feel in the mood for a “I’m better than that Mom moment” but feel that you need a real life Mom to compare yourself to then by all means read the A Child Called It books that will give you a boost of motherly self esteem if nothing else will.
