Are you ready? We better be - we've been buzzing all week at Babble about the new show In the Motherhood over at ABC, and it's about to start - 8 Eastern/7 Central. So turn on your TVs and tune in to ABC.
But keep your computers on! We're going to be live blogging the show, so come back at the commercial breaks to hear what we have to say and weigh in on what you're thinking!
OK - let me list how many of those "real life" motherhood moments I've been there for:
1. Walking into that house - the dog, the screaming . . . check
2. Calling my girlfriends for a glass of wine after said screaming. .. check
3. Convincing my child to like doing laundry . . . er, no, not my house. Can they send those kids over?
Any of these ringing bells?
I've been waiting for this show to see just how real-life it was going to be, and I've been telling everyone I was psyched for an all-parent TV show. I was telling the truth . . . sort of.
I was really just waiting to see Megan Mullally try to play someone other than Karen (you know, Will & Grace drunkos who made us watch even when Grace whined?). And, maybe it's just me, but she IS still Karen - only Karen the way she would be if she had kids, and a bunch of girlfriends who were actually . . . girls. Yay! And she's totally right - pregnant women have all the perks.
Which is why I'm more the Cheryl Hines character - the "normal" one (is it sad that I use quotes for normal and still associate myself with it?). And Jessica St. Clair is my archnemesis.
So which mom are you?
