Quotes from the same author
A good mother remembers to serve fruit at breakfast, is always cheerful and never yells, manages not to project her own neuroses and inadequacies onto her children, is an active and beloved community volunteer. She remembers to make play dates, her children's clothes fit, she does art projects with them and enjoys all their games.

I have two daughters and I have done everything in my power to prevent them from assimilating, even being aware of, my idiocy about my weight.
