Hey Time Magazine. Are you man enough?Are you man enough to take it?Can you take my motherhood?Can you take my breastfeeding and baby-wearing and co-sleeping?Can you take my bottle-feeding and strollers and cribs?Can you comprehend my ambiguity?Can you fathom my depths...Can you breathe under the weight of my power?As I dodge your attacks like a milky stealth fighter - as I stride along the battleground with cracked heels and giant breasts and a mouth whispering fuck you, and goodnight moon.  Read more >

You know what I should be doing? School work.But, I’m not.You know why?Because I need to write the most important post I’ll probably ever write in my whole life.Check it out.In 3 years, when my toddler is just four, probably going to preschool and really not needing me quite so much, and I consequently have a relapse of the terminal disease known among medical journals as “I Really Really Really Think I Need a New Baby,” please remind me of the following few moments. No really, please.  Read more >

The other day, while enjoying a cookie, Ava says “Mama, wanna hear something sad?”And I’m always up for a little sadness, so of course I respond “Yes.”And she says (and names have been changed to protect the innocent) “Jessica doesn’t eat sweets. She isn’t allowed to because her mom thinks she’s fat. Today at school she wouldn’t have a cookie and when I asked her why, she told me that.”Oh boy.A “fat” nine-year-old girl.And one of those women.I want to cry a little, rage a little, break a couple faces.  Read more >

Dear Rocket, You came into this world the way you’ve remained, perfectly. You came two days before you were due (always the gentleman), in a birth that felt like the sunrise. “Turn around,” she said, “pick up your son” and you swam and I lifted and kissed you and we locked eyes and you took air and took me. Pink ball of perfection. They asked me how I felt, I said "ecstatic." You were so beautiful you took my breath away. How could it be? This boy. My son? My son. Your sister named you “Rocketship” before you were born.  Read more >

About Me: 

I write an irreverent, totally inappropriate blog called Renegade Mothering. Something like June Cleaver with a bad attitude, or Martha Stewart on psychedelics. Some people think I'm funny. Though I wouldn't trust them, they're clearly unstable. www.renegademothering.com.
