I Was Told It Would Get Easier
by Abbi Waxman
Physical book. Enjoyed the banter but felt bad for the mother-daughter and all their missed moments. Also made me not look forward to parenting my two kids through the teen years, but I hope I have good girlfriends to help get me through.
“Frances’ Home for Unloved Mothers. We appreciate you when no one else does.”
The dynamic between Jess and Frances- love it! Love the dialogue/witty banter.
“I scare because I care.”
“A strong female friendship is like a romance that kept its mystery and never beaches itself on the shores of exhausted intimacy.”
“I knew she was The Friend for Me when one day she showed up at my door with toilet paper because she’d seen it written on the back of my hand and knew I hadn’t made it to the store that day, and she had.”
“Work is not life. Work is how you pay for food. You should ask us the kind of life we want to live instead... I want a job I can forget at the end of the day, where I don’t work weekends, where I make enough money to live on my own and have a garden. Wouldn’t it be better to start there? ... Work isn’t supposed to be your life... Your life is supposed to be your life.”
“Parenting teenagers is something of a shit show.”
