Omg Amanda you are channeling me (but better) AGAIN!! Thanks so much for taking the time to articulate the complexities of this - I also recoil from the term but Jack said ma ma ma for the first time before I left on a bike vacation this week and I kept rewatching the video….but god forbid anyone else calls me mom or they are getting the dirtiest look and sometimes a direct statement to call me by my name please!

Great post. Thanks for your honesty and willingness to share. It's high time women led the stories and decided the language for how we talk about motherhood!
