Are we in an over-mothered society?

Are we in an over-mothered society?

No, and here’s why.

Just because people have a biological mother doesn’t mean they are being mothered.

Most people today are being raised by spoilt, over grown children, not by mothers and fathers. They grow up in a house with no adults.

A whole generation raised by children.

Yet, only a mature woman can mother a child. Yes, an immature woman or girl can care for a child like a big sister, but that’s not mothering.

Mothering includes all the physical aspects of child care plus the teaching of emotional regulation, self-care skills, basic literacy, indoctrination into the father’s religion and culture, respect for the father, and respect for masculinity and femininity.

She prepares her boys for the day they leave her to enter the world of men, and her daughters for the day they become wives and mothers of their own children.

Proper mothering is very rare in today’s world. Almost as rare as proper fathering.

Here is some observational proof that you can confirm by watching modern women: If women were being mothered by mature women, they would know how to be wives and mothers. Most do not know because they are under-mothered.
