As mums we both love our kids but we often struggle to find the daily grind of mothering enjoyable. In a recent article by the NY Times article, Jessica Grose writes that it isn’t just us 21st century mums living in an Insta-perfect era who are finding it hard - she has proof that mums have felt the same for centuries. We look at where this motherhood myth came from, why we can’t collectively admit that it is just really hard work and if there is light at the end of the tunnel as our kids grow up. Columnist and author Kerri Sackville joins us to discuss why after 20 years she’s tired of parenting.
