Always Mommy's Fault--excerpt from Moore Campbell

in #motherhood5 years ago (edited)

"Isn't it always Mommy's fault? Mom didn't do this, she didn't do that. She nursed too long; she bottle-fed. She slapped the shit out of the kid; she raised a spoiled brat. She was too dumb and lazy to get a job; she worked full time and never paid attention. She weighed 300 pounds and waddled into school for open house; she weighed 110 and showed too much cleavage. She got high; she was too uptight. She traded Dad in for a lesbian lover; she did everything her man told her to do. She stayed with a husband who beat her and set a poor example; she left the fool and broke up the family or, worse yet, she kicked his ass and started running things. She let her boyfriend spend the night; she didn't provide a male role model. She never cleaned; she screamed when the little ones tracked in mud. Lazy cow fed the kid McDonald's every night. Negligent slob didn't attend the PTA. Too trifling to help sell Girl Scout cookies. She let her children run wild and had her a good ol' time. Her child was drowning, and she didn't save her."

From 72 Hours Hold by Bebe Moore Campbell (2004)
