A mother’s role has really changed!
It was just before the First World War that Mother’s Day was first established in Canada and the United States. Even though we have only been celebrating our mothers for a little less than a hundred years, their role and status have changed a lot because of family separations, reconsti- tuted families, adoptive families, etc. There are as many different family models as there are new challenges for the modern mother. The feminist struggle has opened new doors, as much in the job market as in the home. But there still remain enormous difficulties in families where the mother is not necessarily the one who gave birth to us. Think about those reconstituted families, for example, where sometimes two mothers share the same role. According to the most recent statistics of the Public Health Agency of Canada, 12% of families with children are reconstituted. As well as playing her traditional role, a mother must, more than ever, be inventive and able to organize complicated daily logistics within families where her status can sometimes be ambiguous. On Mother’s Day, we pay homage to mothers for finding answers to all the new challenges they are faced with. New breakthroughs in fertility treatments and the possibilities of adoption are also changing the hand that motherhood is dealt. It takes the modern mother a lot of courage and patience to take the difficult and often frustrating steps that accompany the decision to go to a fertility clinic or to start the monumental task of putting together an adoption file. On Mother’s Day, we pay homage to their determination.
