The aim of this paper, based on data from two Swedish interview studies conducted in 2010-2013 and 2015, is to critically investigate constructions of motherhood among women who identify themselves as having neuropsychiatric disabilities. The data, based on a selection of participants in the above mentioned interview studies include participants who identify themselves as women, who are parents to children under the age of majority, and who identify themselves as being a person with a neuropsychiatric disability. In the paper the women’s struggles of being perceived of, by others and by themselves, as "good mothers" are highlighted. To be a ‘good mother’ are by the women in the study constructed as abilities to organize the daily life of the family, organize and do household chores, keep track of the children’s activities, as well as the ability to clean and present a tidy and respectable home. Against these normative images of motherhood, where a ‘normal woman’ is positioned as someone who has an ability to organize the daily life of the family and present a respectable and tidy home, women in the studies position themselves as ‘deviant moms’. When they explain their lack of ability to organize and clean as being an effect of them having a cognitive, neuropsychiatric disability, they position themselves within a bio medicalizing discourse, where a certain way to ‘do mothering’ is constructed as a disability and a pathological deviation from normative motherhood. However, they also resist to be positioned as deviant and ‘bad mothers’ by positioning themselves within a norm critical resistance discourse that problematize gendered power relations, and notions of normative femininity connected to images of motherhood.
