Being A Mother Is A Choice, Not An Obligation!
Being a mother is a choice, not a duty!
We all know that some women are not prepared to be mothers. This can be due to natural or social obstacles. Others simply decide that motherhood is not an option for them.
This is generally a very controversial topic because there are very radical opinions on it, both in one direction and the other. But first we need to consider and respect everyone’s opinions and rights. Being a mother is a choice , but choosing not to have children is also a choice.
Women are physiologically predisposed to conceiving, but this predisposition does not fit with the goals or outlook of each woman.
The fact that we are able to give birth does not mean that we must. Even if society has conveyed this to us for many years – under pressure.
It often happens that women are very ambivalent about motherhood.
Happy mothers often do not understand how other women can reject children. On the other hand, these women often don’t believe that mothers can actually be happy too.
The maternity is to represent different and even opposing positions on an obstacle when it comes. Defending the right to a choice for or against motherhood does not make us less loving towards our own children.
Everyone should be free to decide what he or she will do with his or her life. And everyone should accept that.
Sadly, women who choose not to have children are not always respected. But every day this group gets bigger and bigger.
Today many women believe that the life they live with children would not be possible in this way. This is often based on personal and professional interests. Nobody should be convicted of this position.
Being a mother is a choice – so is staying childless!
In 2015, an Argentine film came out that was very critical of the issue of motherhood (even if that wasn’t the movie’s goal). The main actress, Maribel Verdu, was 44 years old, making her the same age as her role as Vicky.
The film, titled Sin Hijos (No Kids) took up an issue that is still controversial in Latin America. That’s why the public’s reaction was so strong.
The actress is one of those women who believed that “being a mother is a choice, not an obligation”. She has defended her right to shape her life in what she thinks best suits her. And like so many others, she is tired of being constantly asked why she has no children.
The film accurately depicts that often other women wonder how someone over 40 never had the desire to become a mother. These women then view childless women with either frustration or pity because they live inappropriately to the norms of society.
Vicky, the protagonist of “No Kids”, took her position radically. This includes utterances that many only think but dare not utter.
Some also think that they are bad mothers simply by saying openly that their children can also stand in the way of their own personal development. They are afraid that others will judge them.
What the film wants to convey is that we should respect the opinions of others. Women without children should not abhor mothers, and vice versa. It is enough that society forces decisions on people; we should all be free as long as we don’t hurt others by doing so.
Being a mother is a choice and sometimes an obligation
Women deserve the chance to realize what they want to achieve with their lives. But this option does not always exist.
Had there been a focus on individual rights, many earlier mothers would have designed their lives differently and made different decisions.
When we weigh the pros and cons of motherhood, we will find many reasons against it, or at least reasons to postpone it. Having children isn’t always the best and sometimes it takes a bit of planning.
We are obliged to analyze our situation in the best possible way and to take responsibility for our actions.
It is important that we take care of ourselves and think about the kind of life we want our children to enjoy. If we make this decision correctly, then we will become mothers at the right time, and not because of social pressures.
