I’m in awe! I really don’t know how else to sum up my feelings after reading, “I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy. My first thoughts go to the old saying, “You never know what goes on behind closed doors.” While I have learned this to be true as I have gotten older, this memoir smacks you in the face with the raw truth of this saying.
Raising children creates many different situations as a parent that you never thought about when you first brought your sweet little baby home. One of the biggest lessons that I worked hard to instill in our children was to always appreciate what they have and to not be envious when others have more. Mostly because envy isn’t good…but also because while things may look perfect from the outside, you never really know what families are dealing with on the inside.
Summary of I’m Glad My Mom Died ~
Jennette was a child star living her mother’s dream. While most of us would think she was living a fairy tale life, Jennette explains that becoming an actress at the delicate age of 6 was never her wish. The turmoil that unwinds over the years of her childhood were anything but happy, however, she was still too young to even realize this!
