Because honestly, the article was more about marrying the wrong person and a lack of modern day villages for mothers.

I just want you to listen to a couple of these excerpts.

So to break down how this article is laid out, the interviewer talks to three different moms, and she essentially summarizes their stories.

And so I just want to take you through a few different pieces of each of these mom stories.

So mom one, the author writes, her first year of life, talking about the baby, she was colicky and cried all of the time.

You couldn't put her down.

We had a babysitter quit and tell us, I can't do this anymore.

I also had postpartum depression.

Early on, I told my doctor about it.

She just kind of dismissed me and said, well, you don't feel like throwing your baby out the window, right?

She told me to come back if I ever felt like hurting myself or my baby.

Then she goes on and she talks about work.

She says,

And we're going to talk about why I disagree with that statement, but I just want you to hear all of that in her own words.

So to summarize...

This mom had a colicky baby, which is awful.

My oldest brother was colicky and my gosh, the stories my mom told, I mean, it was just awful.

And she also was dealing with postpartum depression.

Those are real things.

So now we get into mom number two.
