Marriage & Family

By Maisey Jefferson, The Federalist - Last week, The New York Times published in its opinion section a video by “filmmaker” Shaina Feinberg posing the question: “Is it possible to be a great mom and have a great career?” This question has purportedly “plagued” Feinberg... According to a short synopsis alongside the video, Feinberg’s mother “dreamed of a successful career as a performer,” but “then gave up those dreams to raise her daughters.” The Times describes this decision as a “loss” that “still haunts” Feinberg’s mother.

By Cathe Laurie, The Stream - It’s been said that motherhood is the toughest job you’ll ever love... I might add “and occasionally lament while crying for fear that you might be failing.” And yet the truth remains that motherhood — despite its messy glory — is the most important job in the world... Genesis 3:16 tells us that, as a result of the Fall, women bring forth children “in pain and sorrow.” If that isn’t the most honest description of motherhood, I don’t know what is. There most certainly is pain, from that first contraction until the last teenage eye roll. But this I know for certain: It is pain with a purpose.

By Samantha Koch, Patriot Post - One small step toward restoring the dignity of motherhood will be a giant leap for mankind... In modern society, motherhood is increasingly framed as a burden. Many women view this role as a goal for those who do not have any real ambition in life. Where this perspective used to exist primarily on the political Left, it is unfortunately a mindset for women who claim to espouse traditional values as well. Influencers across the political spectrum, from feminist content creators to those who generally promote conservative philosophies on their platform, perpetuate a narrative that belittles marriage, homemaking, and raising children.
