Sometimes ‘but the rewards are so great’ does not give comfort. Three mothers about the moment parenthood got the better of them and they felt the pressure of the ideal picture. What exactly is that, being a good mother?
A cry for help to the Parent Hotline: a mother can no longer cope with parenthood. More mothers feel this way. Elleke, Erin and Jasmijn crack up overnight too. One short week of rest does not give them solace; they turn out to be burnt out. Based on their personal stories, Een goede moeder reveals a broader social issue. Why is it that more and more mothers become exhausted? Which ideal picture are they trying to live up to?
