We won't solve many social problems until we return to a situation in which, to the maximum extent possible, children have the benefit of a father who provides and protects and a mother who stays home to teach and nurture. Nevertheless, reality always wins, and the reality is that strong societies can be built only out of strong, two-parent families with children who aren't institutionalized before they can even walk or talk. This philosophy holds that the primary, number-one goal of each individual must be personal happiness and fulfillment. And it equates motherhood with slavery. Well, two or more people whose number-one priority is their own personal happiness at all costs, will not last long as a unit, family or otherwise.
Conflicts are inevitable.
If you have a father, mother and three children, you will have five different individuals. What makes a family thrive is each member realizing that the whole is more important than its parts. When they don't, the family unit flies apart. Lasting human relationships are always built on morality, compromise and a set of priorities that place the relationship ahead of the individual egos. As for motherhood, it's a hell of a lot more difficult to be a good mother than it is to run a corporation.
