I don’t think most mothers DO enjoy motherhood. I think when they say they do, it’s a cope. I think they try to convince themselves (and others) that everything about it is great, when behind the scenes more and more mothers are on anti-anxiety and depression meds, substance abuse is rife and the ‘empty-nest’ syndrome is not them missing their children, it’s them having an identity crisis wondering if they’ve wasted their life.

Oh of course it's a cope. But what else to do but to delude themselves? If they admitted the truth, they'd have to jump out a window. So what do they do instead? Feel smug and superior to childfree women whom they look down on. That's all mothers have: status over childfree women. But this status is their raison d'être
