While i write this i am filled with so much empathy for the working mothers and also for the housewives especially those that are filled with the fear that if they are not perfect,their kids would turn out to be unruly children.
The author raises the question on how the generation of mothers are arguably the most liberated and privileged group of women in America to be so consumed with perfect mommy-dom?.To my own opinion,Motherhood changes most things and i feel that if we accept this simple fact we could carry on with our lives.Some women fail to understand this and others find out at a later point, but all the same life is not perfect and motherhood is also not perfect.If motherhood is made to be perfect then how come we(mothers) cannot predict the times our kids would make a mess.At least if we could,we would be like wonderwomen who would stop the occurence of a natural cause.
I am not mocking the motherhood phase but i feel it comes down to the fact that this phase is a process and you become used to it but most women feel they can do everything even if they are mothers.For instance,most women take the role of “soccermoms”-who can clean up the house,take the kids to school and must have everything in a perfect way .Some take up the roles of mothers during the day and party hoppers at night.Regardless of what role women play it still comes down to the idea that mothers are not perfect creature,we are only humans and most times we need encouragement from ourselves and others but most especially from the human aspect of ourselves and the superbeings we dream to become.
