Maternal instinct

It's hard for women to escape the desire to become a mother. For a woman who doesn't have the ability to make a child biologically, everyone is a pity. This is the case, even if you do not like children or children who do not like children.

Does being a mother automatically make you appreciate all the children and cares about them? Can you love and protect not only your own child but other children? Do you think that women who are not mothers may be indifferent and loveless towards children?

It is thought that the emotion intensity that starts with this motherhood instinct, the eternal and self-defeating love is not only for humans. Let's take a look at the animals that give their newborn babies every moment. Dawn Starin, a primatologist from London, studies the red colobus monkeys in Gambia, where she expects the mother to die for days and take care of her, grieves. Such images and images enable us to fix stereotypes about motherhood.

But what we call motherhood instinct is not something that is expected from every woman. I mean, it's not a button you pressed when you smell baby. The relationship between mothers and their babies is much more different than these legends. For example, you might be surprised that mothers can be selfish. It may seem surprising, but some of the women may not want to be a mother in their lives. 17 percent of women born in the 1970s have no children. This rate was 12 percent in women born in 1943. I mean, now it seems less women want to have children.
