Yes, motherhood has become like the low end dead job nobody wants. I see it everywhere. I thought it was just in my head that somehow it is messed up for women to be paid less while they bring a child into the world and also forced to go back to work as if the child is somehow super able to be on his own after 2 years. In some countries women have to go back to their job after 3 months. It is insane. I do wonder how people agreed to this insanity as being normal. No wonder we have so many messed up individuals running around : their childhood was stolen by the way society looks at motherhood and I dare to say even at fatherhood.
I have re-read this book twice and it was first written in the 80's. We are in 2024 and the book is rock solid in its truths.
I believe that motherhood should be awesomely paid. Children are future society members. Their childhood is of paramount importance. I cringe when I see parents hurrying to climb the corporate ladder while their children suffer miserably in the comforting arms of powerless nanies. The topic is so loaded and I blame no person but the system itself that was created to milk the human being out of resources for the sole purpose of producing value until he drops dead and hopefully not reach retirement in order to cash back while their now grown up children need lots of therapy to un-screw themselves up.

I am glad that you liked it!
