I read the transcript of that podcast and she was going through so many contortions trying to justify her mothering it was painful. It appears she was playing the part of a 1950s tv mom while her first 3 were very young and is now playing the part of a high-powered executive. She’s unable to recognize there is balance. She’s also not shy about throwing her ability to pay others to pick up the slack to ease her burden (something most people can’t afford). I found the passage about dropping L off and having coffee with her own mother every morning very telling. She says she doesn’t want the relationship to be transactional. She uses that word a lot when speaking of relationships.
Can you even imagine being her editor or fact-checker? What a nightmare! It’s really funny, to me, that this almost 40-year old woman thinks her story is so unique that it’s worthy of a book. I also doubt she’s going to be able to hit deadlines.
