That is the question.
Most parents lashed out at Rahna Reiko Rizzuto when she confessed that she left her children in order to pursue her own dreams and find herself after five years of motherhood. Readers practically flayed her on the stake, condemning her for choosing herself over her children. Was it really necessary to accuse her of being “worse than Hitler“? Does being a good mother really mean we have to give up being ourselves, sacrificing our identities at all costs?
Read my take in today’s Salt & Nectar Guest Post “The Good Mother: Selfless or Selfish?”
Enjoy my post and a great blog from the two lovely lawyer moms, Sarah Stewart Holland & Sarah Pahnke Reisert, at Salt & Nectar!
