Hey, you! Yeah, you! I promise you belong here.
I know you’re looking around the room worried that no one has your problems. No one else’s kids are wearing mismatched socks and a little bit of their breakfast on their...
There were many times as a young woman when I often wondered if I wanted children. I know now that that hesitation was a good thing. I have friends who married and had children much earlier than I did....
I know what you’re thinking. You’re probably clenching and bracing yourself for a heaping helping of sanctimommy.

As a mom, I am in little to no position to offer unsolicited advice to anyone about anything. It wouldn’t take more than a passing glance over my bloodshot, puffy eyes and Crisco-coated hair or my banshee children circling...
