Every woman's path is difficult, and many mothers were as equipped to raise children as wire monkey mothers. I say that without judgment: It is, sadly, true. An unhealthy mother's love is withering.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman's natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.
Good mothers make all kinds of choices. Making a decision that might sound selfish does not make a woman a bad mother.
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.
Women often have a fraught relationship with their mothers, even though that's the most important relationship in their lives.
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
I think women who lead full lives are better mothers.
Sometimes the strength of motherhood is greater than natural laws.
I've been really fortunate that I've worked with a lot of strong women who are also mothers.
I have always been a great believer that women should support women, and my admiration goes out to mothers everywhere, as they constantly put their own needs behind those of their children, embracing daily uncertainties and entering the new uncharted territories that each day brings, to be, in return, rewarded with joy and unending love.
Every mother I've ever met, pretty much without exception, is doing the best job she can ever do.
