As a mother, I understand the powerful bond between a parent and child. I love my son, and I really would do anything for him. Society assumes that all women will feel the same sense of endless, selfless love. We’re thought to be biologically programmed this way.
But maternal instinct is not a switch that exists in every woman, ready to be flipped as soon as she smells a baby. It surprises us that mothers can be selfish or women may not want kids at all.
Maternal instinct may sometimes depend on whether a mother has the support she needs, such as co-parenting. We’re most social when it comes to parenting, often recruiting many people around us to help. Without any help, it can be desperately tough.
For some, the prospect of raising a child they never wanted, or feel they can’t raise, can be unbearable. I myself have had to answer questions about my wish to have only one child. The thought of having more children terrifies me, and has nothing to do with the love I feel for my son. The reasons why women feel the way they do about children is under-studied. At the extreme end, there are cases of neglect or infanticide, and mothers resort to killing their babies more often than we think.
Motherhood is not always about selfless caring. Sometimes it can involve emotional calculation, weighing the needs of both parent and child. We all assume that a mother always wants the best for her child, above her own needs. What we seem to deliberately ignore is that a child’s welfare can depend heavily on the mother’s own needs being met.
For the sake of both mothers and children, we need to begin detaching the myth of motherhood from the reality. It’s unfair of any society to expect women to be the best mothers they can be without economic or emotional support. Not all women are happy to be mothers.
Birth doesn’t always signal a rush of immediate love. The maternal bond may build slowly over time. For a small few, it may never appear. And some never experience the urge to have children. We think of all these as unnatural exceptions. But the scientific and historical evidence shows that none of it is strange at all.
The spectrum of human behavior encompasses those who want children, those who don’t, and those who aren’t ready to have them. The most unnatural thing of all is forcing a woman into motherhood in the anticipation that she will biologically
fall into line
when a baby arrives.
The central idea of this passage is that______.
选项
A、there are advantages and disadvantages to having a baby
B、we need to detach the myth of motherhood from the reality
C、it is extremely difficult to raise a child without any help
D、women are encouraged to have children despite difficulty
答案
B
解析
文章没有议论有孩子的利弊,也没有鼓励妇女克服困难养育孩子。文章确实谈到养孩子不容易,但这不是文章的主题。传统的观点认为女性都应该要孩子,而且对孩子要百分之百地关爱,但现实并非如此,所有我们要客观地看待现实,让事实说话。
