A daring and provocative book-length essay on why we both romanticize and vilify mothers
A simple argument guides this book: motherhood is the place in our culture where we lodge, or rather bury, the reality of our own conflicts. By making mothers the objects of both licensed idealization and cruelty, we blind ourselves to the world's iniquities and shut down the portals of the heart. Mothers are the ultimate scapegoat for our personal and political failings, for everything that is wrong with the world, which becomes their task (unrealizable, of course) to repair. Moving commandingly between pop cultural references such as Roald Dahl's Matilda to insights on motherhood in the ancient world and the contemporary stigmatization of single mothers, Jacqueline Rose delivers a groundbreaking report into something so prevalent we hardly notice. Mothers is an incisive, rousing call to action from one of our most important contemporary thinkers.Binding Type: Paperback

I have loved and used this ever since my dermatologist recommended it 20 years ago.

TOTALLY Recommend. Best product for your hands.
The best thick lotion for deep healing. 30 yrs ago when I used to clean hotel rooms and had pealing skin on my hands from chemicals, the dermatologist told me to put a ton of this on and let my hands soak. Well it worked and I’ve never found anything I like better. Original Healing formula only for my hands and feet. The liquid in this brand is good for the body and doesn’t make my skin itch. . Totally recommend this and this brand! Especially if you have allergies.

Okay but will not buy again
So if you can't rub it in it's not a very pleasant item to work with and it doesn't work much more than some of the better lotions that I buy from jerkins

Very versatile and durable dog toy
This is not a good toy to leave wit big dogs unattended. That being said it is a GREAT dog toy for households that have a variety size of dogs. Our Golden Retriever and 6 pound Pomeranian both play with it. Both retrieve it and occasionally share carrying it back to us. I know it will eventually get destroyed but that is what dog toys are for. Very durable and with the holes, it allows small dogs to pick it up as easily as larger dogs.
