Exposed


Once upon a time, becoming a mother was something you did alone, in your home, with your baby. Your sources of expertise were few: women in your family, women on your block, and your doctor. Your husband knew nothing, and when you had a question, there was Dr. Spock. Maybe you were happy, or angry, or drunk, or overwhelmed, or pleasantly bored, or deeply satisfied. But those emotions lived at home.
Then came the Internet. (Okay, then came feminism. But after that, the Internet.) And for all mothers, came a sense emancipation. Sharing parenting stories, dumping our most toxic thoughs and enjoying great moments - our lives lit up and exposed.
I'm Sonia Da Silva and this is my story, raising girls - exposed!
