I'm not sure I've ever met a woman who didn't like being a mom 🤔 I know one who needed to adopt, and then got the chance to take 3 siblings at once, and for them, they decided for the dad to stay home full time while she kept her traveling sales job, as she needed more time adjusting to motherhood, and he was a really stable and practical man who handled being a fulltime dad of 3 between 2 and 5 years old (I believe) really well. Plus they are Asian kids so they had to also learn Swedish.
Now she loves it!

I have heard a lot of women feeling "mom guilt" which is when they're at home witht he kids they feel like they should be working more, and when they're at work they feel bad for not being eith their kids more. If we eliminate this, I think a lot of moms would find peace at being a mom and enjoy it more. Also, needing a break doesn't mean I don't like bing a mom or I'm not good at it, and i think that's another lie women might struggle with.

As for it being borderline scandalous to get married before 20 is actually only a newer western thing. Most other parts of the world women often started getting married from about 15 (according to Grok) but the west, and especially since the US arrived, you are correct that most women got married in their 20s, but it wasn't scandalous until recently to get married as a teen. Sex outside of marriage, especially that resulted in kids, however, yes that sure was considered scandalous.
