Do you think motherhood gets a bad wrap because of how much people talk about it's challenges? Recently, the author of a Deseret News op Ed titled Modern motherhood has a major PR problem argued that negativity on social media and in social circles is making fewer women want to become mothers, or is making them want to put off motherhood. She argues that it's much easier to talk about it's challenges, and how much sacrificing it takes, than it's joys. In this monthly edition of the STATE OF WOMEN IN UTAH, Host Lindsay Aerts, Dr. Susan Madsen, and Emily Bell McCormick discuss the elements of this argument that they think are problematic, and where they agree.  See our website for privacy information.
