[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I genuinely wish I had been raised religious, had a big family, and embraced traditional motherhood. Instead I’m a “girl boss”. Ugh. [/quote] I was the oldest girl in a large religious family. My parents used corporal punishment frequently and I did a lot of childcare and had a lot of household responsibilities (cooking, cleaning). Our religion taught that there would be terrible consequences for not obeying, so I did. As an agnostic adult, I love my parents but in my own small, secular family, I have a kind of relationship and connection to my children that I never would have thought possible in my childhood. It is a transcendent love that is far beyond anything religion ever brought me.[/quote]
