A relationship, a societal construct, a full-time job, and an identity all come together as motherhood. Given that 85% of women are assumed to have given birth, motherhood—or at least the idea of it—is a common experience for most women. One of the biggest physical and psychological changes a woman will ever go through is becoming a mother.
It generates a lot of duties and frequently alters a woman’s personality. Many cultures regard it as God’s greatest gift to mankind. It embraces the circle of getting to know one’s child and comprehending them from the viewpoint of a mother.
Giving birth is a biological process, not the biological state of becoming a mother. Many women have given birth to their children and have taken seriously the responsibility of raising the child. In other situations, mothers may have given birth to children and then abandoned them for a variety of reasons. Many women have raised children they were given as gifts, nourished them with unwavering love, and developed into responsible mothers. Therefore, motherhood is not determined by the biological process; rather, motherhood is determined by the love and care that is shown to a kid. When it comes to confidence and security, a child’s mother is the most significant figure in their lives. The child frequently emulates the mother and shows similar behaviors.
Motherhood entails supporting their children without conditions and accepting them for who they are. It involves a mother’s firm supervision throughout the child’s life journey and the challenges they encounter in this chaotic environment. A child’s perception of the world is primarily a reflection of the mother’s viewpoint. From a feminist perspective, parenthood is a topic of much discussion. As mentioned by the critics, the patriarchal constructed idea of motherhood comprises underlying societal practices that limit women and later views these restrictions as acts of altruism.
Mothers are also humans, and goodness does not always make a person great. A woman needs to seek out pursuits that help her develop personally, even if they have little to do with her offspring. In addition to looking after her child’s well-being, she must also look after her own physical and emotional well-being.
A mother’s life is never simple. After spending nearly the entire night up with the kid, they have to get up early the next morning and commute to work. The constant juggling of their personal and professional lives stresses them out. Children have access to practically everything because of a lack of time. As a result, they exhibit altered behavior and experience feelings of loneliness and insecurity. We are currently raising children in a digital world. Due to the digital age, modern parenting strategies have given rise to a new wave of technological concerns to address along with other anxieties around children’s free access to all types of online content.
In conclusion, becoming a mother involves learning something new every day. We all face difficulties in life, and no one is more qualified to advise us on how to respond gracefully than the mother herself. The beauty in the chaos of motherhood is that you will rise stronger, making an imprint on your family’s lives that, when assessed, is worth far more than you could ever dream.
