Pigweed and Crowhill celebrate mothers and Mother’s Day.
Mothers are nice to have around. They’re comforting and nurturing, and especially necessary for little children. From the moment a child is conceived, the child has a deep biological connection to mother. The child grows up hearing mother’s heartbeat, her voice, and literally living off her body.
As the child grows, his emotional control is regulated by the mother. He learns what to be scared of and what to trust by watching how mom reacts.
But unfortunately, motherhood has been politicized. Women are taught that being a mother is not a noble pursuit. They have to put career first, marriage and family maybe later. Children should be rushed off to daycare so women can become another cog in the industrial machine.

This is true. In addition, it’s more difficult for women to make a living without getting an education and that takes more time than in the past. As well, men are less inclined to marry so women have to depend upon themselves and/or family for support. These dynamics also play in the delay of starting a family.
