Let's Discuss... Has Motherhood Died?
Details
Motherhood, once deemed a full-time occupation, has transformed into a less time-intensive role due to various factors. Nowadays, new mothers frequently resume work mere months after childbirth, and children are enrolled in school or daycare earlier in their lives.
Has society diminished the priority and respect accorded to the vital role of motherhood?
Are we delegating motherhood to the state by sending children to schools and daycare earlier and earlier?
Has this transformation benefited the employer at the expense of the well-being of the children?
This is the follow up to Let's Discuss... Absent Fathers!
