Conquer mom life with Motherly’s honest, opinionated advice and recommendations, from what to watch to what to wear.
There's been a lot of focus in the media on the property destruction happening during some protests, but they don't tell the full story.
I'm a Black mom in the Twin Cities. Here's how I'm talking to my kids about the protests.
"In the four years living in my house, I have never taken a walk around my neighborhood alone (and probably never will)."
"My hard working, kind hearted, silly husband was guilty because of his skin and there was absolutely nothing he could do about it."
"I'm unarmed, and I have nothing that will hurt you."
Talking about the reason for these demonstrations—the death of yet another unarmed black man at the hands of a police officer—is so important.
If you're wondering when the "right" time is to begin having these talks—it's now, mama.
We're expected to do it all, and then a big glass of wine will make everything better—but we know this isn't true.
"I considered the home birth for a second, but then realized that would be nearly impossible with my circumstances," Sarah tells Motherly.
I remember looking at my husband and I instantly started crying, and so did he.
It's hilarious.
Love them and demand America do the same.
Cue the smiles.
It shouldn't be this way.
This is the start of a great summer.
6. Write down your ta-da list.
It's okay if your kids get bored.
You're going to want to grab some tissues before you read this.
