Can you imagine a world without Mothering?
Now, imagine a world without war… A world without violence…A world without ill-health…A peaceful, environmentally friendly world where Mothering is cherished and children and future generations thrive.
How a culture nourishes their children and values Mothering will determine what each future generation will be like. The role of motherhood and Mothering encompasses a tremendous responsibility that needs to be taken seriously with more attention than just celebrating Mother’s Day once a year.
Historically, the role of women was confined to being a mother and wife who was expected to dedicate most of their energy to these roles and taking care of the home.
While aspects of this needed improvement, the women’s movement was hijacked by special interests, such as the banking industry, who wanted more revenue, and the powerful influence of Hollywood. In achieving their agenda, they have radically changed and damaged the vital role of mothers, the importance of motherhood, the value of Mothering, and future generations. Instead of improving women’s lives and the attributes of mothering, women became sex symbols and/or over-worked slaves of a bad, unsustainable system. And, war has been glorified to encourage men (and now women) to fight immoral, foreign corporate wars.
Adding to this assault on Mothering, many mothers have been forced to enter the work force just to survive or help pay the bills because of the constant increases in life’s necessities. These financial stresses have also contributed to the increase of single motherhood. Single mothers and low income families are particularly impacted by these issues. Hence, the role of Mothering has been seriously hindered, harmed, and neglected.
Day care does not take the place of ‘mothering’ infants and toddlers, no matter how good they are. This is a big part of why there are so many social and psychological problems and violence in today’s society. No one in government is properly addressing this massive void, nor working on establishing programs to even acknowledge the vital role of Mothering in society. The only remedy they and their medical advisors and so called ‘experts’ provide for the high increase in suicides and violence, is more medication, which turns millions of people into zombies.
Worse, mothers are losing control of their kids at an alarming rate because tyrannical government policies, under the guise of ‘protecting others,’ do not value or respect a mother’s instinct and wisdom.
