Excellent interview! Mom rage is so real, I'm glad to read an open conversation about it. American moms don't have the resources they need and it's absolutely a form of oppression.
One thing Minna talks about in the book is the difference between what's on the surface, and everything beneath that isn't always seen, and I think that's so important to acknowledge. When you lose it at your kids because they're dawdling about brushing their teeth, it isn't really about the teeth - it's about everything that came before, the full weight of emotional labor you're bearing.
