RE: Art Explained By A Writer: The Feverish One

It is a constant: son sick, mother waiting for him to recover his health.

And what is more, before she recovers from the effort of looking after her complaining son all day and all night, she must also give comfort to her husband, who will soon ask for her attention as well.

It seems that a mother is the breadwinner of a home and the man is only to provide the financial resources for the household.

Sort:  

Es realmente un círculo vicioso. Si aún no mejoran, es que están enfermos de nuevo o hay otro problema que necesita solución. ¿Y si mamá está enferma? Luego ella sigue caminando. De hecho, la madre tiene más que un trabajo de tiempo completo y también tiene que cuidar de su marido. ¿Cambiará alguna vez? No lo puedo creer, sigue vigente la idea de que las madres se conforman sólo con las tijeras de sus hijos. Las madres no necesitan ir a la escuela, las madres no necesitan tomar descansos, las madres no necesitan descansar al igual que las mujeres. Gracias por leer.

I believe that a “mother” has implicit in that name that she is the one in charge of the welfare and stability of her household, por saecula saeculorum. This includes the whole package of: father, children and grandparents. A whole novel is the life of a "mother."
Without the right to get sick because she loses. She must cure herself, she must work at home even if she cannot, she must give herself strength because no one else will look after her.

Except in very special cases where both children and spouses really value a mother.
