Mother's Day Thoughts
My friend, Kathy, just had a baby — her fourth male child. She juggles her little one on her hips while she converses on the phone, getting the information she will need for her client tomorrow — all the while preparing dinner. My friend is an attorney with a private practice, as well as mother, so the scene I’ve described is normal. She juggles priorities between practice, family, community, and friends, but my observation is that mothering comes first. Kathy represents for me “mother in 1986.” Today’s mother may also be an executive secretary, doctor, or assemblyline worker. She may be an electrician, real estate agent, or certified public accountant. She will also be chauffeur, amateur psychologist, teacher, and parttimechef. Why do so many mothers carry on this balancing act? We know there are as many answers as mothers: some must earn the family income, others supplement what is needed; some choose to maintain their professional career, others choose to become full-time mothers and homemakers. Here’s another story about Kathy, attorney and mother. One afternoon her two little boys were quarreling over their toys: it was a typical sibling battle and they were about ready to come to blows. Kathy called her older son, and they quickly worked out a little skit to illustrate a peaceful way of settling a dispute. Then mother and son acted out the scene for the two younger boys. When they were finished, they all came up with ideas on what would be fair for both. I wish I had thought of teaching like this when my children were small. But I didn’t know about mediation techniques and I hadn’t been trained in presenting alternative solutions. Kathy uses her professional training to enhance her mother-

ing. She’d hasten to add that she can’t always be that creative. She takes shortcuts, too, and sometimes simply says, “Peter, you take this one, Nathaniel, you take that one.” Being mother is a full-time job, even while a woman works at other jobs. There is no relief from the responsibility, and while children are small there is little time alone. Today’s mothers have high expectations for themselves and their children. These expectations often make mothers feel inadequate and guilty. One mother said that by the time her two youngsters were five and seven, she had a whole list of things she wasn’t doing right. She didn’t play games with them often enough, didn’t even bake cookies for their lunch boxes. The real “heavies” were things like didn’t help them build self-esteem and got angry too often. Her feelings of guilt and depression became so severe that she sought counseling. Now she believes that the greatest asset a mother can possess is selfesteem, and a realistic sense of what she can do. One afternoon an attractive young woman came into the office of a pediatrician. She was excitedly anticipating the arrival of her first child and she interviewed this doctor. She reported that she had already quit her job and was now spending her time “preparing for parenthood.” She “wore her morning sickness like a badge,” the doctor observed. This doctor saw trouble ahead for mother and child: reality would never match the fantasy, and she was projecting all her energy toward her child. She was losing , sight of that important person — herself. Mothering in 1986 — how different is it from 1966? or 1936? Some things will never change: the loving touches which bond mother and child, the sleepless nights and frustrating hours when a child is ill, the sudden in-
sights as we glimpse pieces of ourselves in a child. But the changes are also great: changes in expectations of a family and lifestyle, new goals for a child, more sophistication in relationships. Today’s mother must cope with home computers and television and space shots as well as childhood illnesses. Anne Morrow Lindbergh once described what a mother will always need: time for reflection and for refiUing the springs of love and peace within. In her book, “Gift From The Sea”, Lindbergh says that church on Sunday morning has been a great centering force for women: “Through the ages women have had that quiet hour, free of interruption, to draw themselves together . . . Here were the advantages of the room of her own, the time alone, the quiet, the peace, all rolled into one and sanctioned by the approval of both family and community . . . The springs were refilled.” Having time alone is as important today as it was yesterday. It’s just that today’s mothers may find it more difficult to arrange.

David Packard, the head of a presidential panel on Pentagon purchases estimated recently that the commission’s proposed “radical reform” could save tens of billions of dollars and get weapons to the troops twice as fast. $3,250 each Uncle Sam spent about $3,250 for every man, woman and child in America last year — with Alaskans topping the list overall, Hawaiians receiving the highest federal pay, Florida leading in individual aid and Connecticut the first choice for purchasing.
