She went on to discuss the difficulties of becoming a mother, stating, “We need to breastfeed, but we also don’t want sagging breasts. For us to have the waistlines we had before these critters converted our wombs into their own campervans, we need to give them the correct mix of nutrition and refrain from consuming their leftovers.
We have to make sure they are amused, socialise with the appropriate peers, and give them praise for their crooked paintings as though we were naked courtiers submitting to an emperor. ‘Gentle parenting’ is the way to go about all of this; our mothers were like army colonels, commanding us around.”
