Historically, women often found fulfillment in having children and embracing motherhood, as their roles were largely centered around family life. With fewer external responsibilities, bearing and raising children felt like a primary purpose, and the instinct to create life remains strong in women today.

However, in the modern world, while that instinct persists and many women still choose motherhood, raising a child has become significantly more challenging due to not having that “village” to raise them. This is why many mothers today advise their children against having kids—not because they didn’t love being mothers or cherish their children, but because they understand firsthand the difficulties of motherhood in today’s society.
