On-Screen Portrayal of Motherhood: Better Things vs Auntie Mame
Which TV show or movie best depicts the realities 鈥� both good and bad 鈥� of being a mum: Better Things or Auntie Mame?
What is the best on-screen depiction of motherhood? Parenting columnist Amil Niazi picks the TV show Better Things and writer Jane Marie chooses the 1958 movie Auntie Mame, leaving Aminatou Sow with the unenviable task of selecting a winner. Which of the two better captures the highs and lows of motherhood? How do you compare someone who chose to be a mum with someone who had motherhood thrust upon them? And how will Amil鈥檚 baby attending the recording affect Aminatou鈥檚 choice? As ever, it鈥檚 up to her to decide as she determines which TV show or movie best portrays motherhood.
