Is anyone else as sick of the cult of Momism as I am? Just wondering.... And plan to write more about it soon, because you can't spit without hitting a story about childbearing, child raising, child yearning, breast feeding, child feeding, and the ego feeding of the me-me-me-me-mom who either wouldn't be complete without her young 'un or flaunts what a bad mother -- excuse me, mom -- she is because, well, because she wouldn't be complete without her young 'un (who -- surprise! -- can drive her nuts).
And now, God help us, we have "Tiger Mother" (points for 'mother' over 'mom') who, if nothing else, knows her PR. I haven't read her book and limit my intake of the spate of commentary on it, but she seems to share a belief with other uber-moms that they can build a better child -- and live to write about it.
