Satirizing Mommyhood
Ready for some politically incorrect satire of motherhood? Get a load of Lifetime TV’s “Mommy Madness” videos starring the quirky Angela Hoover.
Case in point, the video below about trying to work from home when you have small people scampering about. It reminded me of the time when I conducted a telephone interview with a district attorney and my then-toddler decided he no longer wanted to watch the video I’d turned on, went looking for me and started pounding on my bedroom door. I had to literally stick my head underneath my bed so I could hear the district attorney. Then, when the toddler continued laughing and persisted in kicking the door, I figured the DA likely heard the antics and I came clean with him, informing him that I was working from home. At least he was sympathetic. Or did a good job of pretending he was.
