I’ve been loving everyone’s mothers day posts on social media and feeling as lucky as ever for all the moms in my life, especially because quarantine would be a lot harder without the two I live with. Which is part of why I’m also especially sad today that it’s so much harder than it was when I was growing up both to become and to be a mother.
I often laugh with folks my age about our moms having given birth to us in their early twenties but we hardly talk about why it’s all so different now.
