In fact, each mother deserves to enter the Guinness Book of World Records

And so, I hereby present my revised thesis on Mothers. For I've learned that, for the most part, there are no bad mothers or good mothers. All mothers are Trying Mothers. That's a tall order. And the more of the filmstrip I unwind, the more I peek beyond immediate causes and effects, the more I see that each mother deserves a crown. In fact, each mother deserves to enter the Guinness Book of World Records. For being the First Mother in her shoes, with her children, challenges, and circumstances to succeed as a Trying Mother.

Good Mothers and Bad Mothers
