I had an interesting conversations with some Moms at the pool this Summer. I was the only stay at home Mom. One asked me how I “did it... didn’t I just want to go crazy being at home all the time”. Anyways, I learned a new/hip phrase... “I’m just not that MATERNAL”. All of the women said the same phrase. I then asked where they learned such a “unique phrase” and it was taught to them in college. Essentially, women should remove any sort of true “maternal” feelings/urgings etc... to better their career and they would be better off. When I went to college, the phrase “you can do it all” was taught and talked about. I wonder if it is well known that you can’t “do it all” and you need to remove the idea of being maternal?
“...“I’m just not that MATERNAL”....”
And the answer phrase is similar, “I’m just not that material” as in “materialistic”.
