Bad Mother: A Chronicle of Maternal Crimes, Minor Calamities, and Occasional Moments of Grace by Ayelet Waldman

3.0

An especially honest take on what it's like to be a mofern mother. BUT also a cynic, worrier, and borderline oversharer. The author has some bright spots in this mommy memoir, but it's plagued by her own self-doubt and uneasiness about nearly everything. I'm not yet a mother, perhaps this is truely some people's parental experience. Certain chapter were full of Negative Nancy with glimmers of hope sprinkled in for taste. For the most part, it felt like this was Waldman's catharsis or therapy session with herself.
