Netflix's "Otherhood" is the "13 Reasons Why" of toxic motherhood.

"13 Reasons Why" recieved some harsh criticism for it's narcissistic glorification of suicide. It broke many well known media guidelines about depicting suicide. That's not to say anything about what I consider pretty smarmy and narcissistic writing."Otherhood" is the same, but instead of glorifying suicide, it glorifies toxic, entitled motherhood.The premise is that 3 mothers, the protagonists, feel "snubbed" for recieving no calls or gifts on mother's day from their adult children. Instead of voicing their feelings, like adults, they decide to just move in with them without warning. Their justification, and I'm not making this up, is that "they took care of them for 18 years," and therefore, feel entitled to breach this boundary.Now, if you've ever been on r/insaneparents or r/raisedbynarcissists, this would almost sound like a post but told from the perspective of the insane parent, and might even be a little bit triggered if you've been mentally or emotionally abused by an entitled narcissist. You'd think the message would be a critical guide into parental entitlement or something, but you'd be wrong. Spoiler warning, their kids learn that they really do have more in common with their moms than they thought, and that their moms are humans, just like them, and should call them more. Aww, queue like an hour and a half of half baked smarmy gimmicks that make them appear "quirky".If you know a narcissist, you'd know that stuff like this empowers them. It validates their toxic behaviours to see a midlife Felicity Huffman on the big screen appear charmingly quirky for having those behaviours, and it's damn scary if you've experienced parents that act like this.Edit: yes, this is a comedy via /r/movies https://ift.tt/31grHsw
