Performing the ‘good mother’

A$22.00

This training explains the connections between ‘performance’ in motherhood, good mother myths, and self-worth. I talk about the ways our children, and the domestic realm, are both set up as ‘markers’ of ‘good motherhood’ in our society, and why this is problematic. How we ‘perform’ in motherhood shapes how we construct our sense of who we are, of how we see ourselves, how others see us, and contribute to intergenerational stories on what it means to be a ‘good mother’.
