Watch Oprah today ! Motherhood...PART 2

Looks like its gonna be a good one, a continuation of the last one they did on MOTHERHOOD...


"Our last show on motherhood touched a nerve! Once mothers broke their silence, there was no going back. Now, the moms who spoke out last month face the moms who wrote in after the show. Find out what mothers honestly think about motherhood."

Anna, hello my dear! I caught it, of course. I thought that it was better than the last one. But, I have to ask you...what did you think of the woman that insisted her experience was complete bliss all the time. I found it really difficult to believe that she was 100% honest. But, if it was, than good for her - she's definitely in the minority.

The other thing that I *loved* about today's show was the Mom of 2 boys and 2 twin girls that stood up and said to Oprah that the last show should have focused more on solutions for these Moms that are at their wits end. Amen, sister!

I also *loved* the segment on the Mocha Moms - that is such a wonderful, wonderful idea!!!! There's no better support system than that. The LIWeddings Moms should start a similar group on LI!

I am interested to hear your thoughts...

Claud,

Now I can respond to this as a MOM, I agree that the one woman was being UNREALISTIC about having NO PROBLEMS, no stress, no sleepless nights with all of her children. My baby is 6 days old, and I am exhausted, achy, dont know what day or time it is, LOL. I havent seen half of it yet, cuz I still have DH home this week. But i'm sure there are challenges to come. And breastfeeding in itself is a challenge, has taken LOTS of pain tolerance, patience and dedication to get it going...

Claud, as far as a moms group, I had posted about one, there is one out here, its like $20 for the YEAR ! (hello, great price ! LOL - and of course you spend money going on all these trips and activities with the kids) and its part of an international group, that has branches all over.
The closest branch here is the Smithaven. with over 50 members. Here is the website. I plan to join in a few months. JOIN, anyone else wanna join ?? If youre a SAHM it will work for you since alot of the day trips are during work hours, but there are also evening things if you have a busy schedule.

I got an informative email from the Leader of the group, if you want me to fwd it to you, give me your email address.
