FX’s Better Things: They Made a TV Show About My Life

Parenting

Are you overwhelmed? Juggling a million things at once? Feeling like a failure from time to time?

Welcome to motherhood, y'all.

FX's Better Things

Everyone knows motherhood has its ups and downs. I love that we can talk about that openly and honestly. I know some moms pretend to be perfect and act like their lives are all together, but you all know that's not me – and I know that's not you – and that's okay.

I've shared lots of my real Mom moments with you. From being homeless to my thoughts on Nell being a cheerleader, it's therapeutic to write about it all.

I encourage you, even if you don't have a blog, to do the same. Write it all out. Some day your kids will read it, hopefully after they're parents, and completely understand. It comes full circle.

If you're feeling discouraged, overwhelmed, or just plain crazy, find other moms to connect with. Reach out. Chances are, you'll find more than one mom feeling the same way.

FX's Better Things: They Made a TV Show About My Life

The show Better Things on FX, created by Louis CK and Pamela Adlon, is basically our lives on the big screen. The show revolves around voice-over artist Sam (Pamela Adlon), a single mom of three daughters. While I'm not a single mom anymore, I walked that path for several years and I remember it vividly.

Enough of the shows that are perfect and wonderful and everything works out already. I want to see the real stuff. Authenticity. The stuff I'm living, in a relatable and hilarious way. That's Better Things all the way. Even though it's a fictional TV show, it's clear that the inspiration came from actual motherhood – not some fairy tale version of it.

I've only seen the pilot episode so far but will definitely be tuning in for the rest.

    I definitely like the pillow clip the best. It’s my new way to test pillows. I will definitely be checking this show out.

    The pillow clip is my favorite. I’ve never thought to determine my pillow purchase on how well it holds a scream, but I’m definitely doing it from now on!

    LOVED her on Louie and was excited when I saw she got her own show. Watched the first one and it was great and already have the next few ready to DVR. Anyway, the pillow clip from the show was my favorite. Never did that in a store, but definitely have at home.

    This looks hilarious! I loved the plucking of the chin hair (because I just did it) and the pillow test , since that is completely relate able after a long day, or sometimes by 10 a.m.!

    My favorite clip? All of them. I’m actually excited for a new show for the first time in years! The smoke detector one is pretty much my life. There may or may not be imminent danger but everyone freak out while i try to fix it, by all means. Please. That’s helpful.

    I have never heard of this show! I can’t wait to watch it. It looks extremely funny. I loved the pillow clip. I’ve never thought of testing my pillows out that way. ? I have three boys so I might not be able to relate completely but I’ve had my own set of issues! ?

    Oh, bed eye. That is so me, except that my kids don’t knock. They just barge right in. This show looks awesome! Thanks for sharing.

    The dr office scene is pretty funny and so is the smoke detector one. I really like when sitcoms are so much like regular life. When does the show air again?

    The pillow one rings so true! I can’t even count how many times I’ve done this! I’m really enjoying how true to life this show is.
