Please. Being a mother doesn’t have to be a martyr. Many new mothers are pampered in other cultures. Only in this sick culture we expect new mom to suffer.[/quote]
In which cultures and for how long? I am guessing OP is past that phase.[/quote]

Plenty of cultures. In korean Chinese and Vietnamese cultures the mother is just supposed to sit there while her relatives help take care of her and the baby for a whole month.  I think also in mexican culture. OP obviously just had a baby, so no she is not out of the time frame. Shame on you harpies for piling on a new mother at her most vulnerable. [/quote]
These cultures are not exactly known for empowered women or women’s rights. I don’t think that’s the direction we want to go.[/quote]

Oh heavens. Cultures that take care of their mothers are not empowered, the irony. You sound like a frog at the bottom of the well that have never actually been to China, korea or Vietnam. And coming from a culture currently trying to confirm a Supreme Court justice that will take away women’s rights doesn’t sound like this culture empowers women either. [/quote]
