Year 3, week 39: Cat and Nat's Mom Truths

This week's book:
Cat and Nat's Mom Truths: Embarrassing Stories and Brutally Honest Advice on the Extremely Real Struggle of Motherhood
By Catherine Belknap and Natalie Telfer

Have you ever watched a couple of cute blondes riding around in their car dropping Mom Truths on different Fridays? Well if you have, this book was written by them, Cat & Nat.

I haven't watched as many as their videos as the #imomsohard ladies, but I still get a kick out of some of their videos. Cat and Nat videos are more funny complaining about kids and husbands (and sometimes we moms need that) and the #imomsohard videos cover more topics. The reason I struggle with Cat and Nat is that they seem more negative, and I don't always need that.

Their book is a little better at lifting other moms up but not without making being a mom sound like the hardest, most blah job that never has rewards. I did keep wondering, if they thought being a mom was so sucky why did they keep having kids? They are saying all these things about how moms that have it more put together are just the worst. I'm not put together by all means but after reading this book, maybe I am more all together or organized than I thought I was. The book just didn’t feel like it had much heart.

I would recommend the book if you are a mom and you need a major pep talk or a chuckle. Added bonus is that the chapters are short and easy to pick up and put down while trying to parent during this quarantine.
