Mother’s Day Enjoyable – For Everyone But Mom

Mother’s Day Enjoyable – For Everyone But Mom



SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (Wireless Flash) – Mother’s Day can be a real bitch for some moms – and it can turn them bitchy too. That’s according to relationship expert Cherie Carter Scott, who says some moms simply can’t enjoy Mother’s Day, so they make the day hell for their family. She says these tightly-wound “plexi-glass shield moms” usually suffer from low self-worth and a fear that people are only nice when they want something. As a result, whenever kids try to make dinner or clean up the house, the moms belittle them by saying, “Big deal. I do it every day.” To deal with a real-life Mommy Dearest Carter Scott suggests sending her on a cruise where she’ll be forced to let others do all the work. Carter Scott is the author of a new book, The Gift Of Motherhood (Broadway Books).
