It is a fundamental truth that the responsibilities of motherhood cannot be successfully delegated. No, not to day-care centers, not to schools, not to nurseries, not to babysitters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves.
The purpose of The Motherhood Manifesto is mothers really need to be given the ability to parent.
Motherhood has a very humanizing effect. Everything gets reduced to essentials.
There are plenty of mothers who should not be allowed to raise their children.
The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.
Of course a woman who decides to work full time as a mother in the home can be happy and deserves full respect from us. Motherhood is one of the most challenging and creative jobs anyone can do. The goal is to remake the world so that our choices are not so stark.
Just think: people decided one day that a day should be set aside for motherhood and fatherhood. What a great concept that is.
I think parenthood is a wonderful balancing act. On the one hand, you want to spend as much time with your children as possible. On the other hand, you want to set an example for them to see that you're fulfilled in your life and in your work.
Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.
I don't think anyone masters parenthood.
