Who's your empty nest icon?
Mama's talkin' loud. Mama's doin' fine. Mama's gettin' hot. Mama's goin' strong. Mama's movin' on. Mama's all alone. Mama doesn't care. Mama's lettin' loose. Mama's got the stuff. Mama's lettin' go.
The last few years, it seemed like many of the celebrity moms I’m aware of stopped talking about their little kids and began talking about becoming empty nesters and how sad they feel about it. Then I read Heather Corinna’s book about perimenopause and just felt bummed about the agenda of a mother’s life. First you have a baby and that’s hard, followed by the grind of raising small children. Then your kids become teens and hate you just while your body is wrapping up, and then just when you have sweet menopausal freedom they move out and you’re sad and you’re an old crone and you die.
