Coincidentally perhaps the very qualities that make “good wives.” The Observer could have asked a woman to write an Opinion page about moth- erhood. For most genera- tions, women had few op- tions: join a religious group, clean and cook for others, stay home and care for ag- ing parents, become a pros- titute. Other jobs were not considered women’s work. As history shows, be- coming a mother for lack of other options contrib- utes to poor parenting.

Now, girls can dream big. Girls can follow those dreams. Motherhood is one of unlimited options. I thanked my mother for her full devotion to mother- ing us, although her life may well have been more satisfy- ing personally doing other things. Her example helped me realize there were other things I’d rather do with my life. She understood. “We cannot forget those who served” is the title of the article about forgotten remains of soldiers from World War I and since. Nice juxtaposition. Moth- ers should raise children surrounded in love. Then the government sends them to war and has to be reminded not to for- get their remains. The media is not allowed to cover children returning in boxes from wars. Too upsetting? Would it cause people to question and re- sist our government going to war without congressio- nal consent? War is a huge money maker for the 1%. Honor is particularly due to mothers today guiding the next genera- tion to become the change we so desperately need.
