Nobody Cares After You Have The BabyHaving been a single mom for the first 5 years, I don't think there is anything crazy, stupid or selfish about what Jill Scott is saying.
A LOT of mothers feel that way sometimes... it is ridiculously hard to lose the self-identity you have spent years & tears developing just to become "somebody's mother" overnight.
Being a mother is just ONE aspect of a person... it doesn't have to be the whole kit & kaboodle... however society would have us believe that everything about a woman (her identity, her interests, her personality, etc.) completely disappear the minute a child drops out of her bloody cooter.
