'Children will only allow themselves permission to live as fully as their parents do,' Glennon Doyle says. 'So we must not settle for any relationship, for any community, for any nation less true and beautiful than the one we would want for our babies.'

"I'm so sick of self-improvement ..." says author Glennon Doyle."Stop trying to be a good this, a good that ... and just be who you are." Doyle says her new bookAnd that's when I realized, oh this idea of mother as martyr — that mothers have to prove their love by slowly dying, by burying their own needs, and their own ambition, and their own desires, and their own emotions ... this is just another way we get women to disappear. ...
... children will only allow themselves permission to live as fully as their parents do. And so we must not settle for any relationship, for any community, for any nation less true and beautiful than the one we would want for our babies.Women taking care of everything during extraordinary circumstances is nothing new. Right? We've been doing this since the beginning of time. This is just a different iteration of it.
This is a hell of a lot too much family togetherness for me. ... what I'm saying to my people is: We just lower expectations right now. Right? Our children are not going to learn what they would have learned in school. You know what they'll learn? They will learn that sometimes things are completely out of our control. And in the end, what matters is how we take care of ourselves and each other. So whatever you need to do to take care of yourself and each other. Do it right now.
