Magda Pecsenye of AskMoxie.org asks this important question about Motherhood:

“Do you want the relationship enough to suffer through the jobs?”

She distinguishes between the jobs of motherhood which are on-going and many (wiping running noses, changing diapers, packing lunches, doing laundry, getting the young one down for a nap etc.) from the relationship of motherhood, which is the emotional bond between mother and child. Check out her honest and inspiring article on the subject here.

 

” She bemoaned the fact that she was almost forty and felt she should have done more with her life. I said I wondered if I should have done less”

Pam Houston, excerpt from the essay ” The Perfect Equality of Our Separate Chosen Paths”.
