I will never understand how a mother can kill her own baby and not get away with it.
A mother should never be blamed for working.
My daughter Gabby very kindly once said that she thinks I was a better mother because I was doing a job I loved. I now think guilt is a universal part of being a mother. I used to think it was Jewish-mother guilt but now I think it is working-mother guilt.
'Bad mother' is probably the worst thing you can say to any woman who has children.
Catholics have guilt and Jews have guilt, fine. But mothers can trump them all.
From what I hear, it's a normal thing to feel guilty as a mother, especially when trying to fill the needs of a newborn along with maintaining what you had with your first child.
Like every working mother, there's guilt involved in deciding how you're going to balance family and work.
Kids are pretty resilient. You don't have to be at every volleyball game. We can't guilt ourselves.
It was never something that I thought put me in a good light, that I was a working mom.
