Part of me has certainly been motivated by wanting to take a stand against the restrictions that made Mother give up so much.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The purpose of The Motherhood Manifesto is mothers really need to be given the ability to parent.
Too often the pressure for popularity, on children and teens, places an economic burden on the income of the father, so mother feels she must go to work to satisfy her children's needs. That decision can be most shortsighted.
A mother's got to be there to raise the children. That's all there is to it. I feel badly for those mothers who work hard, and can't do it all the time.
My mother was a single working mother; she started having children very young. There was a tension inside her about who she wanted to be and what she wanted to do and how she couldn't achieve the things she wanted to.
Being a mother is quite tiring. There's not much time to do anything. You just rush around and it's hard work.
It's really hard to balance work and being a mother.
My mom has always been my support system. She taught me to never give up and to keep pursuing my passions no matter what.
There are plenty of mothers who should not be allowed to raise their children.
One thing all stage mothers share is an overpowering ambition for their daughters.
My mom was essentially a single mother raising three boys. If anyone could have had any reason to give up, it was her. But she didn't, and neither did we.
