Modern motherhood oppressive?

The role of the adult female has morphed from one of doting wife to doting mother in the last forty-some years, according to John Rosemond. In a new concept called "psychological parenting", typical female parents feel obligated to do certain things to validate their motherhood. Women are expected to put their children at the center of their attention in a manner that almost seems oppressive. Rosemond compares women of today to women of the 1960s, noting that in the '60s, women complained about being treated as objects, and in the present, they allow their children to treat them as objects. From what I have seen in my own family this is true. At all times, my mother's world revolves around her children, and her world is one full of pressure, guilt, stress, and anxiety. I often feel guilty for inhibiting her from taking any interest in herself. I hope in the future women can find a balance between motherhood and personhood.
