As you all know, I love to watch movies. Some of my favorites are ones that I can relate to. I think they should make more movies about being a mom. There are some great ones but I have a new one to throw in the mix. It’s called MOTHERHOOD. Raising kids is never easy. Eliza Welsh (Uma Thurman), a stay-at-home mom of two, finds this out first hand on a seemingly endless day when she must plan her daughter’s birthday party, deal with her scatterbrained husband (Anthony Edwards), saver her car from being towed, and write an essay for a parenting magazine before the approaching dead line. That’s motherhood.
Eliza Welch (Thurman) is a former fiction writer-turned-mom-blogger with her own site, “The Bjorn Identity”. Putting her deeper creative ambitions on hold to raise her two children, Eliza lives and works in two rent-stabilized apartments in a walk-up tenement building smack in the middle of an otherwise upscale Greenwich Village. Eliza’s good-natured but absent-minded husband (Edwards) seems tuned out to his wife’s conflicts, not to mention basic domestic reality, while her best friend Sheila (Minnie Driver) understands this – and Eliza -- all too well.
I thought MOTHERHOOD was hilarious. I couldn’t stop laughing. I could totally relate to some of the things that Eliza goes through. I am sure most moms can relate to this movie and would highly enjoy it. It would be a great movie to watch with your other mom friends on a Girl’s Night Out. You could swap your own motherhood stories. I know I have some doozies.
I will share one of them with you guys. My cousin was visiting with her kids when Noah was about 4 months old and he had a dirty diaper. I went to go change it and I noticed that he wasn’t quite finished going to the bathroom so, I closed up his diaper and waited for him to finish. After I changed him, I came back out with Noah to spend some more time with my family. I was sitting there and I ran my finger through my hair, which is something I do often and noticed I had something in my hair, I thought it was spit up. I was wrong. I had Noah’s poop in my hair. My cousin’s kids thought it was hilarious. They even called their dad and told him about it. I’m telling you Motherhood is definitely not easy!
