Hatred of the mother is familiar, but the mother's hatred still comes as a surprise.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Motherhood is so sentimentalised and romanticised in our culture. It's practically against the law to say there are moments in the day when you hate your children. Everyone actually has those moments.
Blaming mother is just a negative way of clinging to her still.
Mothers are great. They outlast everything. But when they're bad, they're the worst thing that can happen.
Every man must define his identity against his mother. If he does not, he just falls back into her and is swallowed up.
I believe that always, or almost always, in all childhoods and in all the lives that follow them, the mother represents madness. Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we've ever met.
Mothers are the people who love us for no good reason. And those of us who are mothers know it's the most exquisite love of all.
Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.
I think mothers get a raw deal in American culture, so I've been defending them. I have three daughters, and I know that as they become mothers, they got a lot more gentle towards me!
Mothers and daughters have that rivalry thing.
Never marry a man who hates his mother because he'll end up hating you.
