Ayelet,
I kept hearing Terry Gross say your name today, pronouncing it as you once told me, I Yell It.
And I thought, Yes, that's a perfect name for this brave woman.
Will not be sleeping much in preparation for the nervous breakdown Monday morning will surely bring.
But well worth all the nerves. Can't wait to have an honest talk about this bold book with and my girls.
Looking forward, always,
Jen, MissIve

Ayelet,
I sincerely appreciate the bold approach you take to motherhood and have enjoyed every single page of your MARVELOUS book. You have struck a cord with me and I want to pay that maternal/internal acceptance forward to all the women I know.
You have raised the bar for honesty. Both in your book and your broadcast today. I commend you for your self-awareness, your ability to reach us bloggy imperfect mothers, and for letting us carry the banner of "Bad Motherhood" with positive intent.
These last few days of Bad Mother reflection have been both eye opening. The surprise has come in the number of Dads many of them single who have expressed empathy during the whole #badmother blog-a-thon. Remarkable the catalytic effect of bravery. I thank YOU for that. I am thrilled to be apart.
