The Perfect Mother

Saturday Night Live paid tribute to mothers with the brutal reality of their experiences. But as an aside to those who haven't embarked on the journey of parenthood, let me tell you that the first years, while magical at times, are the hardest. Give them a good, secure foundation, and kids change into independent, competent, and appreciative adults over the years. If you're smart, you will change, too, into someone who doesn't sweat the small stuff.
