When it comes to news, it’s the craziest and most outrageous stories that sell. The New York Times and various major news outlets regularly run stories on the stiff motherhood penalty for women’s careers, grimly state that “Motherhood should come with a warning label,” or liken it to “a trap you can’t escape.” I’ve argued elsewhere that “how we talk about motherhood matters,” but right now I’d like to reflect on something else that is insufficiently considered. It’s a simple point, but an important one: Modern motherhood is fun, really.
