Are You a Real Mom?
Calling all witty mama writers. The editor of Real Moms Speak is looking for a few more writers. Here's the scoop:
- Deadline is Monday, June 26
- Criteria for Responses:
- Less than 100 words in length
- Humorous tone -very important
- Fits the theme: Motherhood is a battle but one worth fighting
- Check the web site for sample answers.
- Chapters still needing insight include:
- “Society: Being a Good Mother in Spite of It” – What expectations/messages do you feel society has for you that you try to reject in order to be a good mom?
- “Sex after Baby: Who’s Got Dibs on My Breasts Tonight?” – I need some variety besides the standard, “We don’t have much sex anymore.” Think about issues like there being stages in a marriage—life with infants and toddlers is tough on the sex life but it gets better later on; this stage forces you to get better at communication; this stage provides a good excuse for getting your husband to take you on frequent vacations.
- “Motherhood Myths: Timeless Truths That May Prove False”- What did everyone tell you about motherhood that hasn’t turned out to be true for you? Keep in mind that your response should help women have a more realistic image of motherhood.
I just stumbled upon your blog and I have a couple of friends who might qualify. I will just share the link with them.
