As a mother, you love your kids. Youβd do anything for them, but chances are, at some point in their childhood, youβve probably wondered, βWhat in the world was I thinking?β Even if youβll never admit it, if youβve ever wished for Calgon to take you away, then The Motherhood Diaries is for you!
As the working mother of three children, ReShonda Tate Billingsley knows motherhood isnβt a perfect science. She openly shares stories with her thousands of followers on social media about her children: thirteen-year-old Mya, the diva whose Instagram postβand subsequent punishmentβ went viral; to ten-year-old Morgan, who has a serious case of middle-child syndrome and a knack for giving her teachers a few of her motherβs favorite things; and finally, Myles, a witty and precocious five-year-old who, as his grandmother says, βhas been here before.β It was while chronicling her journey that she discovered she wasnβt the only mother who longed for the days when she could use the restroom in peace, who sometimes sat in the driveway because she didnβt want to go in the house, and who sometimes wondered, Is this what I signed up for? Hence, The Motherhood Diaries was born.
Through humorous and enlightening dialogue and narrative, ReShonda chronicles her own journey, as well as reveals candid imperfections of a mother trying to balance it all. With humorous and heartwarming stories from other mothers also trying to βget it right,βThe Motherhood Diaries shares candid and honest conversations about the good, the bad and the downright disastrous path of mothering in the New Millennium.
