  For All You Bad Mothers Out There

  Waldman's book was also reviewed in my local paper; I was happy to see that you had weighed in on it.
  
  I have some mixed feelings, myself: I love that Waldman is willing to talk openly about her choice to get an abortion, and I also love that she's willing to write critically about the Cult of Motherhood, which I think is just a cheap imitation of a society that actually values mothers and children.
  
  I don't love the unexamined attitudes toward people who are born different, though. (Though I *DO* think she is brave to write about deciding to abort). And I am disappointed that, for all her honesty and willingness to buck the expectation that she be the Perfect Mother, she couldn't also see past the Perfect Child mythos.

  
  

  I had no idea there was a move about the Refrigerator Mother thing; I'll have to check that out!
