Motherhood is Nature ensuring the propagation of the species.
What is wrong today is that the Western World (from 20th century onwards) has demolished the support system which was built into societies of all cultures to support motherhood (with extended family/relatives/neighbours/societal-help/etc.) and forced Mothers to do everything solo and alone.
