It's a strange MothersDay for everyone today. We've compiled personal essays from mothers in Hollywood, like missmayim, BrookeShields and momgerm (ladygaga's mom), about how they're celebrating
because at this time,70% of New York City’s homeless are families with children. WIN is housing women and helping them to prepare to get into the workforce.6:52 a.m.: I’m jolted awake by my 4-year-old: “Mommy, Daddy, we’re gonna build a rocket ship. 10, 9, 6, 7, 4…” I make a mental note to add counting backward to his homeschooling curriculum as I roll out of bed.
4:30 p.m.: I give my son a sleeve of Oreos and let him put stickers on the coffee table so I can jump on Skype to record the chat with Trevor. It’s so nice to see his face. My kid walks through, the dog barks, Siri chimes in. It’s messy and it’s life and it’s now all part of the show. Yes, it’s been challenging to say the least. Homeschooling a child in French is at the top of the list. What’s kept my head screwed on is knowing nothing I’m going through compares to what so many others have endured especially all the beloved healthcare workers and the kind of conditions they are facing daily.
This pandemic has put us all in similar boats. My sister, an exceptional mother who happens to not work, and I have never gotten along more. When we speak about our daily struggles they are now the same. This seems like a crucial moment in history that would be remised if not incorporated into the upcoming season.who consistently have the news on and while I’m admittedly curious, I also feel beaten down by the constant bad news.
And now Mother’s Day is upon us. I feel like the hard parts of being a mother during quarantine have been pretty covered already. Remote learning sucks ass and sometimes we hide in our car. But I have a dirty secret that I am nervous to reveal. I have a deserted production office 10 minutes from my house where I go to “work” at least 4 days a week. Do I answer some emails, occasionally write something, tweak a script.
Dreading the call to our son’s birth mother, I was twisted with guilt and sadness. And then, our governor announced that the stay at home order was mandatory. Suddenly, the choice was gone. The call was emotional but all three of us, as parents, agreed that safety was the best decision. I’m extremely lucky I was able to finish the show and episodes to the way I needed it to look and sound. But it’s hard not being in that big sexy theater listening to the sound mix.
I do think everyone is going to be in for a lot of pain if they don’t try to adapt. I feel it’s about adaptation right now. I think we should think about things that were wrong before and things that were f—ed up before, climate, education, racism and how we are with each other, waste culture and capitalism. It’s all a part of it.
