Very often,
TV shows give us unrealistic depiction of early motherhood, either glossing
over its challenges of ignoring them altogether. The letdown is so refreshing
because it gives a raw respectful glimpse into this life-altering experience in
all of its glory. Early motherhood is hard but can also be hilarious, inspiring
and beautiful.
