"This might sound strangely specific, but I love how judgmental my mom can be about cooking. She never cut corners while preparing food for us as kids — full-on omelettes and smoothies for breakfast on school days, homemade dinner together every night (I'm talking macaroni and cheese with $50 worth of cheese in there), and desserts always made from scratch. I've been craving boxed cake and fast food during my pregnancy, and though she's trying to be supportive, I can feel her judgment over the phone . . . and it's weirdly comforting. To each their own, but I know her high standards will encourage me to be an even better mother." — Maggie
