Mothers & the obsession of society with self-sacrifice

  What an overwhelming responsibility, is what crosses my brain when I hear the word Mother. Some surprising statistics will show up if one searches about how many women become mothers at an age where they cannot even psychologically and physically make sense of this responsibility. It is just asked of her as a women. We are born in this world and taught by everything around us to deem our mothers to be this perfect representation of nurture and love that creates a distorted vision transforming her to an almost godly figure. Godly figure that we can push our both feasible and unrealistic expectations on her to fulfil. This sanctification has been done for so many years that even mother take this as a source of their validation and if it is absent then totally brand themselves as an unworthy mother and a human being. I am certainly not discounting their role in our lives, it’s the opposite. All mothers go through something so extraordinary that it is not everyone’s cup of te...
