RE: Contest: A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words "No Love Other Than A Mother's Love"
Most animals raise their offspring alone till they kick them out to stand on own feet.
The luxury of a man helping out with a child most likely 80% of women worldwide don't have.
My grandmother raised her children alone and walked with three babies during the war to the Japanese concentration camp beaten up, raped and treated worse than a dog. Her husband was in the army and ended in a different camp.
My mother had to work and find a way to raise her children and I do the same and so does my daughter.
We juggle through life, give birth at home, stand up and get at work without help or being pampered while we are crippled.
Is that fun? No way but some go on, even if they feel numb, while others can stay on a pink cloud or sink into depressions. That is what life for the average woman looks like with us: the work horse, but never the individual with needs and being noticed.

You're right! Honestly, a woman can totally rock life without a man. It’s like, way more peaceful – no one to argue with, just you and your kid living the dream! But then, there’s that little thing… the kid. Because let's face it, kids will always be on the "Where's my dad?" mission. Like, no matter how chill you are, at some point, they're gonna be like, "Mom, I need a dad, stat!"
So yeah, as much as it's nice to not have to deal with a guy, you still gotta think about the kid's feelings. It’s like, "Peace and quiet or Dad's awkward jokes? Tough call!"
Mine never asked for a dad. There's a Dutch commercial which says it all. family around the dinner table on Sunday waiting for mother to enter the room with the prepared dishes. Father and children sit in silence and you see the faces of the children being very uncomfortable. They have no clue who that stranger is.
At the end, you hear the boy think/say: Who is that man that every Sunday cuts the meat?
@wakeupkitty, you are blessed, your kid ain't asking where dad is.
Meanwhile, the TV mom? She's out explaining who this 'weekend dad' is, making sure the kids don't notice how messed up it is.
Ugh, motherhood is a blah blah... but we still fall for it 'cause of the kids.
Let me share it with you. It still makes me laugh. It was the government that wanted men to be more active within families. I doubt these children ever ask about their father.
You cannot miss what you never had!
@ wakupkitty
Oh, I got it...So the men were just forced into it, ... because they felt obligated. But the child’s emotions are still unaffected, right? It’s like they only recognize who their father is, but there’s no real emotional connection.
That's right. There's no bond and wat you never had you cannot miss. The father is a complete stranger.
"... a woman can totally rock life without a man. It’s like, way more peaceful – no one to argue with, just you and your kid living the dream! ..."
I wonder what will be if your kids father read this. :D
Ha ha... It's ok!.. It's never really been a problem for him since he’s always working abroad. And yeah, it’s just me, all alone with the kids… from when they were little until the oldest is already grown.
Especially during COVID, my anxiety was through the roof. I was the only one there to comfort myself… talk about being your own best friend! Imagine I was the only adult in the house… No relatives around since they’re all in the province. That’s why I can say, moms really can do it all!
Well, I guess that's the reason why Mars Needs Moms.
