To celebrate Mother's Day, we're diving into the highs and lows of being a modern mother, from social media pressure, to the stay-at-home vs working mom battle and beyond!
In this compilation video, we're taking a look back at some of our takes on the reality of motherhood, good *and* bad, including: how Amy Adam's Nightbitch gets so real about feeling like you've lost yourself in motherhood, the struggles millennial moms face with social media pressure to be perfect mothers, the truth about the Bad Moms Trope on screen, the stay at home mother vs working mother clash and how it's changing, taking a look at what's really going on with the Evil Hot Mom Trope in movies & tv, and analyzing why Friends' Phoebe's deep desire to be a soccer mom actually makes a lot of sense!
