Everybody has an opinion about what a “good mom” should do. Kei has a few opinions of her own.

This week on Motherhood Is a MF, we’re getting into mom hot takes, unpopular motherhood opinions, mom guilt, motherhood expectations, and some of the unwritten rules women inherit the second somebody starts calling them Mom.

Consider this the episode version of sending a voice note to the group chat and starting with, “Okay, hear me out…”

Because there are a lot of things moms are expected to automatically believe.

How much of ourselves we're supposed to give.

What we should feel guilty about.

How our priorities should change.

What motherhood is supposed to look like.

And what supposedly makes one woman a “better” mom than another.

Kei is saying some of the quiet parts out loud — not because everybody needs to agree, but because motherhood gets a lot more interesting when women can talk honestly without turning every difference into a judgment.

Some takes you'll agree with.

Some you absolutely will not.

That's part of the fun.

The bigger question is whether the motherhood rules you're following actually belong to you — or whether you've simply been following them because that's what moms are “supposed” to do.

And before you go, bring your own opinion to the village:

What's your most unpopular mom hot take?

The one you know might start a little debate in the group chat.

We want to hear it.
