The Motherhood

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!!!

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.

The premise of the show is apalling. This is another show that attempts to undermine the nuclear family. "Looky looks, you only need a group of women to raise children, you don't need a man". This just highlights how hard it is not to have a husband to help you raise a child. You can re-do your hair you can get new clothes, but at the end of the day, you are still a single parent, struggling to raise a child alone. What happened to family programming? Why not show families living their life? Sad that THIS is what TV has come to. Let's see if this lasts longer than a season, because so far its not a winner.....

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.
