How Erma Bombeck Would Survive Social Media Pressure
Social media escalates maternal guilt into a competitive sport. Bombeck would satirize Instagram-perfect childhoods while kids prefer cardboard boxes.

Evidence includes social media posts, surveys, and anecdotal reports. Guidance at Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop.
