Douglas and Michaels

1. This article made me think of the show "Keeping up with the Kardashians". I thought of this because the radio host I listen to at night always refers to the mother as the "mother of the year" in a very sarcastic tone. This made me wonder, what defines a good mother anyways? It seems that the media has warped the idea to the point where I don't know what a good mom is. Do they have to buy a lot of things? Do they have to work three jobs? Does social status/wealth matter?

2. Why does it seem like moms who live on welfare/moms who have multiple jobs are thrown into the stereotype of the woman who has multiple kids with multiple men? I just don't get that.
