We’re not judging, but you can. A regrettable big trend among moms just now is to castigate themselves for being less than perfect — and there is thankfully an effort underway to get these parents to give themselves a break. Articles like Motherhood: Less Than Perfect Days Are OK work against the trend.
But what if you are so self-involved that when you see a photo of your child in terror, all you see is the “genuine mom fear“? Actress Olivia Wilde was confronted by her husband Jason Sudeikis (video below) about putting their 4-year-old on certain rides in Disneyland including the Space Mountain roller coaster ride. Sudeikis presents photo evidence, and Wilde’s response will stun many people. She sees the little boy terrified and talks first about herself! Again, we’re not judging. What do you think? Jason points out helpfully: “That’s real little boy fear, too.”
