Dear Olive,
I'm not sure I should even be paying service to this, but I received a comment yesterday telling me I should quit my job and look after my baby. I have to say, it really, really, really upset me. It hit a nerve because I've been struggling internally to reconcile who I am as a mother, in theory and in reality. So to the person who posted the comment, I just want to say that your words achieved their clear intention of making me feel like shit. I gather you are the perfect mother? I really think you should have the courage of your convictions and put your name to your wimpy little anonymous comment.
