Comments
After a quick debrief on their teaching experience this summer, Ante and Oliver share why they have picked this topic at this point in the year, how their mothers have shaped them in their childhood, how we need to give due to the two conflicting archetypes of motherhood, why some contemporary feminists are critical of the burdens of motherhood, how it is difficult to grasp the amount of self-sacrifice and resilience that mothers have, whether it is true that mothers have a harder time of letting go of control than fathers, only to conclude with a poem of praise from the book of Proverbs.
