FX’s Better Things: My Motherhood Experience, In A Show

How FX’s Better Things Makes You Feel Like a Better Mom :

As much as I’d like to APPEAR like I’m a mother that has it all together, most days I’m far from it. These days it’s so much more about just getting everyone through the day alive and well, than it is about conquering it or winning the mother of the year award. It’s crazy with my mind being pulled in so many different directions. Between working out, actually working, keeping the house together, and keeping the kids calendars and our family calendars straight… I’m a crazy lady! Apparently, however, I’m not alone!

My favorite part of this show is that it’s literally like sitting down with your closest girlfriend and baring your soul. It puts on center stage all of the thoughts and feelings you’d usually keep in your head, for fear of being judged for exposing them. I totally felt like I related with the characters throughout the film.

    I learned it is about a mother trying to raise three daughters by herself which has a great deal of realism to it as so many women are doing this exact thing today. Loved the smoke alarm scene.

    Well, I’ve seen all three episodes already and can’t wait to watch the next one! I love Pamela Adlon. I always watch any show she’s in! I think I can relate to her, and her humor is similar to mine. I learned that they are all named masculine sounding names. “Phil, Sam, Max, Frankie and Duke.” cool! I wonder what the idea was behind that.

    I like the smoke detector clip. Reminds me of my own kids and when at times, the smoke detector by our kitchen goes off while I’m cooking. Our kids joke around about it.
