It´s a two page article about mother´s day with an interview with a nurse from the maternity ward in one of the local hospitals. She describes her observations of the relationship between mothers and infants in the days they spend there after delivery.</span><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Honestly, I don´t believe in what is usually called maternal instinct. I believe we humans have survival instincts and that includes not letting our offspring die, by keeping it clean, warm, and fed. What people usually mean by maternal instinct - that every woman is a potential mother in terms of loving a child and helping her/him develop into an independent and autonomous human being - is far from being instinctive. That was actually built in society, when the need to worry exclusively about the basic survival of the young, as we, as a species, did in other times, became less pressing.</span><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">When society in the 21<sup>st</sup> century says that every woman, by instinct, is prepared to be a mother, it is shooting itself in the foot. It is actually telling women that there´s something wrong with them if they´re childless, and they should get themselves a child in order to be happy. Also it is telling young women that motherhood doesn´t need planning, that thanks to instincts everything is going to be all right. It also tells men that they have no business in raising children, since it is a task that is performed by women, by instinct. And finally, it turns motherhood into a nightmare to some women and especially to their children, who many times are completely right when they say or imply: I didn´t ask to be born.</span><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">In a world where everything one does can be publicized, being a mother turned into something “cool” as long as you keep doing everything you were doing before you got the baby. A mother who changes her life (what would be more than expected, after all) is “uncool”. Gisele Bundchen returned to the catwalk a few months after she had her baby, with the same body as before her pregnancy, which means she´s probably eating very little and not breastfeeding. Brazilian TV Host Adriane Galisteu tells Caras magazine, referring to her pregnancy and the birth of her son, that “having been a mother was the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me”. Wait a minute. Having been? So that´s it? Pregnancy, childbirth and you´re done? And on, and on the list of celebrities goes. And what´s worse is that in a society of consumers, their behavior/image is a consumer good as much as the clothes they wear. People pay lots of money to IVF clinics for treatments that are physically as well as emotionally painful , and many times done for the wrong reasons. Quite recently ,I read about this very well-off couple from a town nearby who gave birth to triplets and decided to leave one of them for adoption in the hospital, because “ it´s just too much work”. The result is that the three babies were taken from them and are now for adoption.</span><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Mothers are not goddesses, or saints, or even martyrs. Mothers are human beings, which means that things can go very wrong if motherhood turns out to be something they suddenly don´t want to or can´t deal with, because they´re already at a point where there´s no way back. In a 21<sup>st</sup> century civilized world, there´s no worry about the survival of the species. In fact, there are too many people in the planet. We´re not an endangered species, which gives us some choices. And that should be respected. Women should be respected when they decide not to be mothers.</span><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">And if women do decide to be mothers, they should get support so they can enjoy the task they signed up to. Motherhood is about caring, giving and helping. It´s about saying NO, because we love so much, but also about saying YES, because we need to let go. It´s about finding inside ourselves an unselfish part of us who will be happy with being left behind. It´s about giving all the tools and telling all the secret formulas, and then getting out of the way, so our children can grow.</span><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> Being a mother is not easy, and it can be really crazy sometimes, but it shouldn´t be emotionally painful and destructive, as is the case with many families so often (dangerously often) nowadays. </span><br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Those are some ideas I have about motherhood. I´ve always wanted to be a mother; when I was a child I dreamed of having children. Because of that, I understand that it should be really hard if people don´t want it or are not sure about it, and end up having kids for reasons such as trying to fit in, or please a spouse, or even (and yes, I´ve seen that) because all their girlfriends are doing it. I´d like all women to be able and free to choose. It´d be great for the world.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Also, they concentrate all their efforts in their imaginary battles.<br />
<br />
For them, the end justifies the means and they´re never, ever, wrong.<br />
<br />
Saints are dangerous, unpredictable beings. Although always focused on their own interests, they often use the words "freedom, God, and enemy" , and I have to agree with Neil Gaiman: sometimes it´s really hard to hang around with saints.<br />
<br />
[These people are the talented Amanda Palmer and Neil Gaiman, authors of, among other songs in 8in8, The Problem with Saints] <br />

They had chosen to keep me, he said, because they mistakenly thought I wouldn't be as noisy as the parrots...<br />
That's my dear brother's sense of humor.<br />
Anyway, if that were really true,and if parrots lived that long, they'd be celebrating their birthday today, with me.Lucianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04380997272615285975noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787252520189299974.post-52866707807043128032011-04-25T22:46:00.000-03:002011-04-25T22:46:28.949-03:00Of all the Catholic metaphors, I should say that Easter is the one that makes more sense to me. I do believe in death and rebirth. I don´t believe in it as a fact. I believe in symbolical death and rebirth: something has to go so that something else occupies its place. It happens in nature all the time.<br />
<br />
I spent this Easter with the people I love most in this world, and many of them are children. Their growing up means a symbolical death to us, adults. I´m fine with it. My body feels the years go by, but my heart is reborn, again and again, in their smile. <br />
