Famous quotes by mary kay:
“We all have bad days, of course, a secret that only makes us feel more guilty. But once my friends and I started telling the truth about how far we deviated from perfection, we couldn’t stop. . . . One mother admitted leaving the grocery store without her kids—’I just forgot them. The manager found them in the frozen foods aisle, eating Eskimo Pies.’”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“What stunned me was the regular assertion that feminists were ‘anti-family.’ . . . It was motherhood that got me into the movement in the first place. I became an activist after recognizing how excruciatingly personal the political was to me and my sons. It was the women’s movement that put self-esteem back into ‘just a housewife,’ rescuing our intelligence from the junk pile of ‘instinct’ and making it human, deliberate, powerful.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“‘Mother’ is the first word that occurs to politicians and columnists and popes when they raise the question, ‘Why isn’t life turning out the way we want it?’”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
