What is a good mother? Culture would have us believe that being a "good" mother is about the amount of Gold Stars she has earned. According to traditional culture a "good" mother earns gold stars when she puts everyone else's needs ahead of her own. She is everything for everyone. Another words the image of perfection. 

Culture would have us believing that a "good" mother also has children who earn gold starts. Children earn gold stars by being seen and not heard. They "listen" and do everything we tell them without question. Like this is even realistic. Another words a mother is judged to be good or bad by how her children behave. 

On today's episode I share my perspective on what a "good" mother is and is not.
