Yesterday, many Norwegians and Swedes watched the talk show Skavlan feeling embarrased. An old lady who used to be a fairly famous writer about raising children was on because her daughter had written a book last year telling the world what a lousy childhood she had had. This mum talked about er hurt. Today in the media many have commented about how this turned out to be too personal and was unsuitable for this show and should belong more in the private sphere. It all made me think about how love in families is not always easy either for the children or the parents and that became the theme for a couple of paintings

 
I går så mange av oss med ubehag på Skavlan hvor en familiekonflikt ble rippet opp i på en måte som gjorde mange av oss flaue. Flere av oss koncluderte nok med at oppveksten i den familien sikkert ikke alltid hadde vært helt enkel, men samt...idig så tror vi jo henne der hun forteller om smerten ved dette som hun opplever som et forræderi av sin datter. Kjærlighet og familie er ikke alltid enkle greier, enten man nå er barn eller foreldre. Dette er temaet for dette bildet.
