[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Motherhood is a scam—100%. WEIRD nations have turned it in one of the many flavors of consumer culture.

Human beings did not evolve in nuclear families where parents are expected to entertain their kids all day or enroll them in expensive activities. This is a creation of neoliberal ideology.

Paris Paloma’s song Labour sums it up:

All day, every day
Therapist, mother, maid…..

I take a lot of walks. And I love my kids. But they need to learn to entertain themselves. I am not their personal assistant.

Can’t wait to read! I’m #3 on the holds list. And now I’m going to get off the internet (stewing is also not helpful) and go read a book!

Here’s an unpopular take from a millennial:
Liberal feminism is the scam.
We were sold a load of bs about how important it is to have a career and put “self first” (which again always means career) so that now we have no choice but to be a cog in the wheel. And we don’t have time to actual enjoy the mothering that comes with being a mother. So society gets us to blame the stress of motherhood instead of our pointless pursuit of a career that no one will remember us for ten minutes after we’ve left this earth.[/quote]
