The Ten Momandments Unveiled!

1. Mother knows best.

No, she does not.

2. A child is better off with their mother.

Not inherently true.

3. No one loves a child like their mother.

Maybe, but that doesn't mean a mother loves the child the "best".

4. A mother wants what is best for her children.

And also what is best for herself, her reputation, her own values and viewpoints.

5. When you become a mom you just know what to do.

No you don't, please take some classes and ask for help.

6. Being a mom is an incredibly underrated, underappreciated job.

Maybe if you don't have nannies and birth control.

7. It would be easier being a mom if dad would help out more.

And grandparents. And friends. And neighbors. And senators. It takes a village.

8. You'll thank your mom for this one day.

Probably not.

9. Your mom hopes you have a child just like yourself and suffer the way she has suffered.

Yes, you already know this. Jokes on her because you're getting sterilized!

10. Being a mom is the best job in the world.

So is being a single, childless CEO cowgirl astronaut pinup spy.
