The struggles are different, but are they harder? In the generations gone by, where women were relegated to ‘home duties’, there was a confinement, but also a simplicity. Today, there’s privilege, and also struggle as a result of that privilege.
In this conversation we open up some key points for you to consider as you wrestle with this question.
In this episode we discuss:
- Was the intense overwhelm always the case? Or are we becoming ‘too soft’?
- There’s a burden of responsibility when we know more about child and human development
- Nowadays kids tend to have bigger behaviours because of unprecedented sensory overload on the nervous system
- The cultural blaming of mothers
- Patriarchial mothering systems creating mental & physical load-hoarding
- Worldview comparison creating struggle to be in the life you’ve created
- Nuclear functioning of the family unit
- Recognising the privilege in thriving vs surviving
