A child is a blessing. You love the child. And it’s sometimes therefore that you feel suffocated. The film is a collection of real-life moments of moms and their partners struggling, stumbling, and fighting to make it work. Featuring a mom who, after recovering from postpartum depression and convincing her husband to help, welcomes a new life, a first-time mom trying to heal from her own mother’s suicide that happened when she was three years old, a mom of three suffering from her own mom’s disappearance and now unable to hug her children. How can we raise kids with happier moms? ‘May I quit being a mom!?’ is a rare documentary film that cuts right to the heart of parental struggles, the hard-earned moments of joy, the noble sacrifices and cries for help. The characters are real and so are their problems.
