The Motherhood

Definitely missed the mark on this one! How Superficial of Hallmark to think women need makeovers instead of real help. These women need a come to Jesus moment and stop being lazy, needy, victims. You got some moms with great jobs but can't manage there home life or kids yet want to start a side business. Then you have one mom who can't keep a job but hey, let's give her clothes and makeup. And none of the moms want to clean, organize, discipline their kids or face reality that they are the problem. I'm not sure who's worse, the moms, the "experts" or hallmark for thinking this was a good idea.

Definitely not worth the constant push for viewers. Just awful! Only women would think the best thing to fo to help someone is to give them a makeover. From the Superficial makeovers and fake/staged interactions, this show is just embarrassing. Perhaps real experts could have actually helped the women but it also seems these women don't want real help with the problems they created. Instead they want to act like they are all besties enabling their bad choices in the couple days the were together. Makeovers and a chance to be on TV seems to have been the motivation but at what cost to show the world you csnt handle being a parent.

This Hallmark reality show is basically Extreme Human Makeover: Mom Edition, and let's be honest-it's not helping anyone in any meaningful way.

"Hey Tina, we know you're barely hanging on-working three jobs, living paycheck to paycheck, and crying in your car on lunch breaks. But surprise! We got you some snakeskin boots and a new hairdo! Now go slay your trauma in style."

What. Is. That.

That's not empowerment. That's performative pity with a curling iron.

These women don't need a makeover-they need financial security, affordable childcare, mental health support, and some damn peace and quiet. Maybe a nap. Definitely therapy. And possibly a decent wage.

What they're offering is a sparkly band-aid on a bullet wound. It's feel-good fluff disguised as support, all for the sake of viewership and commercial breaks.

If you want to truly support women, you don't just glam them up and send them back into chaos. You sit with them in the mess, give them actual tools, and help them build something real.

Because snakeskin boots don't pay rent.

This show's premise of helping single mothers quickly devolved into a display of what appeared to be poor choices and misplaced priorities. It's hard to understand the lack of self-awareness from the women featured, given the messy homes, unruly children, and what came across as disengaged parenting. The host and "experts" continuously hammered home the difficulty and importance of being a single mom, but the participants' situations often seemed self-inflicted.

Instead of focusing on their children, some mothers appeared preoccupied with launching side gigs or bemoaning their lack of personal time, despite having created the very circumstances they complained about. Another participant actually complaining about her boyfriend not helping with her own daughter or her own responsibilities, despite not living together, also raised questions.

The most egregious example was perhaps the mother seeking sympathy for her "special needs" child needing a "special school" that costs as much as a college semester annually. The subsequent revelation that the child's "needs" amounted to ADHD, a dislike for school, and a desire to play video games felt like a profound misrepresentation. This program had the potential to genuinely assist women in need. Instead, it highlighted mothers who seemed more interested in airtime, sympathy, or a personal makeover, which was ultimately quite embarrassing to witness.

Outstanding!!! I love this show. As a single mom... it's encouraging and uplifting. These moms deserve it and I would love for this to be an ongoing series. I disagree with the negative thoughts. Negativity isn't my thing...They are providing positive and uplifting support for these moms that don't have a support system. How is that a bad thing?!?! I wish these ladies would've been there when my children were young. Connie Britton and the Neighbor ladies are awesome!!! Their advice and help is great. Hallmark or Hallmark +...Please pick this up as a series!!! Please, please, please!!! Love Hallmark!!!
