The Hecks Are Perfectly Imperfect on The Middle
For every woman that has ever had a haggard mom moment, you'll find a new hero in Frankie on The Middle. ABC's new comedy debuted last night offering viewers equal parts laughter and a reality check. Patricia Heaton plays a stressed out Midwest mother of three who balances her work as a used car salesman (who has yet to sell a vehicle) and raising her odd offspring.
Do Some Methods of Having a Baby Take More Consideration?
Having a baby is a big decision no matter how a couple goes about it, but do some methods take more thought than others? In last night's season premiere of Brothers & Sisters, Kevin and Scottie look into starting a family via surrogate and learn the best case scenario costs $137,000. While Kevin is ready to take out a credit line on their condo to get the process going, Scottie experiences cold feet reading hundreds of pages of paperwork.
Yea or Nay on Courteney Cox Arquette's Cougar Town?
Courteney Cox Arquette has returned to the small screen with her new ABC show, Cougar Town. While the half hour premiere certainly packs a punch with Jules Cobb, a forty-year-old divorcee, getting her groove back with a much younger man — was the episode enough for moms to make it a must see? The real life mother of Coco brings her likability to the table as a realtor trying to enjoy life while raising a teenage son.
Modern Family Rocks and Represents All Types of Families
It's simple, Modern Family rocks! ABC's new sitcom had me in stitches as it showcased three related families. Here are the highlights: First, there's the "traditional" couple, Phil and Claire, who have three teen and tweenage kids — Haley, Alex and Luke.
What's the Solution For Teen Pregnancy?
Everyone has their idea of what will lessen a teen's risk of having a baby— from preaching abstinence to safe sex education and initiating the birds and the bees conversation earlier with children. But, the statistics are on the rise and shows like MTV's 16 and Pregnant focus more on the dilemmas kids having kids have — like not breastfeeding for fear their boobs will sag or that they are cuddling an infant in the middle of the night while their peers are trying to sneak in past curfew. Tomorrow night, Primetime: Family Secrets will air a report which follows four families dealing with teen pregnancy and its aftermath along with anecdotes like the 12-steps to correctly putting on a condom.
In the Motherhood: Interview With Jennifer Konner
ABC is getting real with its soon-to-debut series, In the Motherhood based on the real life experiences of every day mamas. Executive producer Jennifer Konner, a mum to two, said it was inspired by the web series of the same name and described the online destination as a secret society of moms telling the truth to each other.
The television episodes will draw on the experiences women share because Konner believes "the truth is better than stuff you could make up."

What Is Your Worst Mom Fail?
If mama gets one thing crossed off her to-do list in a single day, she's done a good job. Most mothers will admit it's near impossible to keep up with school schedules, the grocery list, car maintenance, birthday parties and everything else relegated to dear old mom. On last night's "The Trip" episode of The Middle, daughter Sue Heck sells enough cheese and sausage for her school's fundraiser to earn her a trip to Indianapolis.
