Before motherhood, she was a woman Before she was a mother, she was alone, working woman. She loved her carefree life. She went to work, came home, made himself something to eat, talk on the phone with friends, and went wherever she wanted at the time either. When people asked her if she wanted to marry and have children one day, she may have said yes to marriage, but not for children. The thought took her to a time when she cried too often as a child who want nothing more than to escape his dysfunctional family. She did not want to be disturbed comfort a child who may or may not grow with the same worries and fears that she was a bet that she never wanted to take.
But then came a man with whom she fell in love and she became pregnant unexpectedly. Then she said goodbye to everything she had ever known. Now she embarks on a new journey, while persuading them to accept motherhood despite her bitterness about it. "A mother says, a mother does," she said. Then she turned to other women, books, TV, radio and for each response that the intuition of the mother would give.
This awareness of the need to crucify the old her and become the new sound was the beginning of its crisis. There are those women who suffer from the crisis of midlife and menopause, but there are others such as the new mother in this story, ranging from a single, career oriented, independent woman of sorts to become super a single mother vulnerable, lonely and confused. A young woman who thought of children as nothing more than "cute", now must face the reality as spreadsheets, books, meetings, meetings, and entertainment will be replaced by parenting books, doctors appointments , diapers, bottles, bibs, and much, much more!
Her family she did not have time for when she was busy studying for exams, winning praise, and go out with friends, is now an all too important support. Without family, friends, coworkers, church, government and foreigners, she thinks she could be like one of the women she has read or watched television talk shows that have become so emotionally and physically exhausted the responsibility of taking care of their children one day, they just broke!
The mother who loses her job because of her pregnancy, the family does not like his choice in a man, the violent partner who does not want a baby, religious leaders who do not accept outside the reproductive marriage, and many other issues have sent many mothers in the psychiatric hospital or to their graves with broken hearts and tears.
As the baby gets bigger in it, it reflects the simple days when he was just "Me, Myself and I" as a desire for chocolate, she aspires to life, she used to have. His friends tell him: "Get on it." She goes into hiding, "they are not comfortable," she said. So she does not mind answering the phone more, they no longer have too many things in common with her these days of any way.
The crying child, the partner unfavorable, the negative attitude of parents, friends and distance have all contributed to the crisis of motherhood. Other mothers as she had never planned to have children either, but still had knowing they still had to overcome these feelings of resentment very serious, what a mother who accepted her role will never understand is why she says things to mothers unhappy that cause more harm than good, "You should be happy. Children are God's. Just think of all women who may not have children ... " Although these mothers behave as if they have not the slightest idea of why the new mother feels depressed about her life has drastically changed, some of these well-intentioned mothers forgot or failed to mention how they too are beaten when they first heard news of their own unwanted pregnancies, they PU.
