I cannot get over how many modern women hate being mothers

I don't think they hate being mothers; I think they hate being deprived of adult socializing all day (and night, too, given that husbands come home tired), and they hate that children can't go outside and play these days (no one to play with; unsafe and culturally heterogeneous neighborhoods; if you give your children any freedom, CPS gets called on you, etc.). Our mothers and grandmothers had family and like-minded neighbors around, and there were other children about for their children to play with outside. These things are no longer the case.

I think you’re like my wife. Very empathetic, but not seeing the severity of the situation with modern women. Social media has broken many of them.

Oh, I most definitely see the problem with modern women (I wrote this: I don't think it's just social media that's broken them; *everything* in modernity -- from schools to TV commercials -- have worked to teach them to be cluster B solipsists. At the same time, though, my earlier post is true. If we want women back in the home (where likely ~85% of them belong), we need to restore traditional communities, build extended families, and treat homemaking as the dignified, important work it is.

That is because you lied to yourself about how many mothers in the past loved being mothers.

I choose not to have kids because I fucking hate them and I love my freedom

There is absolutely zero wrong with what she’s feeling. I’d be a shell of myself if that were me becoming a dad again at 40

I think they hate doing all the unpaid domestic childcare while also working a full time job. While their lazy slob of a husband goes on a podcast and talks about what women should be doing.

The fact you are obsessing what women choose to do with their lives that doesn't affect you, really just goes to show how pathetic you are and that you've nothing going on in your life.

Are you not perplexed by the statistics showcasing how many men hate the responsibility of fatherhood and abandon their families? Far worse than a middle aged woman being disheartened by her pregnancy. I cannot get over how bias the “Catholic”’red pill creators are

I cannot get over how you didn’t listen to a word she said and still think you have a right to judge her on words she never said.

Maybe its because they're expected to care for several small children at once and they arent cared about as imdividuals.

What a sadly terrible attitude she has. And think of the kids who absolutely pick up on the vibe that they need to hurry up and grow up so mommy and daddy can "get their lives back". I'm a father of three young kids, and I cry thinking of them grown up and flying away.

Dude I would have no idea who this is had it not been for you. Is he an east coast radio guy? Never heard of him before. He’s obviously a tool. I can tell by his gay tattoos. I’d actually wager he’s spent his time at bars getting with women and celebrating when they caved.

@Loss_and_Gain Listen I’m allowed to have 1 hate watch in my life.

Hate watching is sanctifying. I’m not even kidding. Matthew 10:16 “Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.”

Because men abandon them as soon as they get pregnant, start acting like real men and treat women better maybe they might want to be mothers 🤷‍♂️

You can love something and also want some of other things. She also clearly felt guilty about the whole thing and seemed to earnestly seek advice There's nothing in life so good that you love every bit of it forever. People are complicated. She came across as very human to me

In a world full of working mothers, this is entirely expected. How could it not be? Working outside of the home on a consistent basis literally turns women into defective men. This is where it ends up

Kind’ve a valid reason to be upset. Having kids that far apart is tough, having a newborn in your 40’s also has to be brutal. The real question is why the husband didn’t get a vasectomy after the 3rd one.

So modern women hate being mothers so much they're either offing themselves or their kids left and right and conservatives still think it's a good idea to pressure and force even more women into having them?

You are judging this woman because she had dreams to be MORE than just a mother and she's now realizing that they wont come true. Being a mother is great but its not the ONLY thing women want to be.

Oh yeah. What else do they want to be?

People...she had hopes, she had dreams for herself. Whoever that lady is, I hope someone in her life gave her the biggest hug.

I think most women want to drop their kids off at daycare and it’s sad

"Are you pregnant?" "Thank God I'm not." Ugh, I had to stop it.

I listened to her and and she doesn’t hate it. She got pregnant at 40 when she thought she was done, her other children were older, she thought she about to start to do new things. I understand her. I had my last at 39. I had similar feelings. I’m now 58 and exhausted.

Is that th Lindsay Clancy?

Women don't hate being mothers. They just hate the idea of being a single parent while in a marriage to another adult, who doesn't act like they really want a child or a wife. Building a family starts with finding an equally yoked partner.

That’s not at all the impression I got from this woman. She doesn’t hate being a mother at all. She is struggling with not being able to compete this road map of life she created long before she even really knew what life was.

If any of you think your mother’s loved & wanted you every single moment of your childhoods, you have never known a mom as an adult.

we make alternative realities together...this is all mimetic, in the bad way. we can be mimetic in good and generative ways as an alternative.

People who resisted their purpose will always be miserable. She’s called to be a wife and mother, to a life of self sacrifice. It’s what every marriage is supposed to be. Self sacrifice is accompanied by a profound sense of joy if accepted. Blessed with beautiful children she has zero gratitude or humility. Instead it’s all about me me me. No one realizes how much peace of mind you can get from trusting in God’s plan for your life.

She is insanely selfish. Very typical woman of that age.

Why?

I don't hear anything like this from older empty nesters. Ever. It's a generational thing. It's deeply concerning.

Despicable woman. Who hates their spouse when the children are little? Wicked generation Bring the fire

Meticulously planning life is a fool’s errand.

I’ve had 5 children starting at age 22 through 37. I still have two middle schoolers at home at 49. Am I tired, yes. Has it been hard, also yes. But never, have I ever had her thoughts or feelings of myself as a mother. How sad for those children.

"I feel like I have so much potential that will never get to see the light of day" You're right, sweetie, the world really needed one more bitchy HR Manager! How did our civilization survive before boss babes??

The best thing that ever happened to me was having another child later in life. He is special needs and it’s different being his Mama but, I’ve never once thought I about my lost life.

I’d blame Catholicism for this. Ever since the primary function of marriage shifted from the procreation and raising of children to mutual happiness, the expectation of marriage became distorted. Marriages outside the church always had problems, but this exacerbated the problem.
