Motherhood Myth

Society sets an image up for woman about parenting. Somehow and somewhere someone made this rule that motherhood’s only responsibility is so take care of their children, and contribute domestic work around the house. Why couldn’t men be given this role? Who in their right mind states that taking care of kids is a woman’s job? A guy? A girl? Doesn’t matter. “Marriage is a relationship between individuals who form the foundation of families for most societies”. Marriage is a sacred rite between two compassionate lovers, and the beauty of it is that sexes can be different or the same. Getting married presents new attributes such as, religion, customs, race, culture, food, systems, and etc. When getting married, it is also very vital to create

Author Betty Rolling presents a quote from source a stating, “If motherhood isn’t instinctive, when and why, then, was the motherhood myth born?” Betty demonstrates the fact that if females were not born with the niche of parenting a child, why should women be the only one to nurture babies? Also, it is examined that the parenting of a child is both the mother’s and father’s responsibility. If both men and women were not born with the instinct of parenting, society has no firm to claim that taking care of babies is the sole responsibility of the mom or woman. To further validate this point; if a relationship combines similarities with one another why can’t there be mutual share to take care of one’s child. According to source a Betty Rolling writes, “But that gives for both males and females who have been mothered themselves.” The author is trying to convey the message that if both man and woman were nurtured at least one in their life by mom, why couldn’t either the son or daughter inherit the quality to take care of their future sons and daughters.

In society it has been portrayed that, martial satisfaction does not have to be evident in order to maintain a parallel sharing of their children. This means that despite any infatuation between two people, it will not stop them from producing a child. The author asserts in source a that, “these couples with children had a significantly lower level of martial satisfaction then those without children”.

You can assume that there are definitely some instincts that come into play when parenting a kid, whether it is a man or a woman, that both have the same job as a mother. After having a kid and spending time with them, couples could definitely show signs of martial satisfaction heightening again. To add on, Rolling mentions in the article, “He’s working on his career, and you’re working on your family. But you both must gear your lives to the children.” This further validates the point that even though there is no similarity or satisfaction of any kind, both the parents must abide by their child in order to share the art of being a mother amongst one another. It is clearly emphasized at this point that, even though marriage differences do exist, both the men and women will end up having a fair share with
