Breastfed children are weaned once they become old enough to eat everything the family eats. But what if a mother believes in late weaning? How does society react?

This is a poetic take on the daily travails of new mothers, and how much one can learn from just observing your own children.

To this, I said many mean things. Making a business around motherhood cannot possibly be about spreading love and happiness. Several people agreed with my notions. I must be right.

At last there was someone who valued me for who I was, what I thought. He didn’t want me for his physical needs but for his mental fulfilment. I wanted it too.

Here's a confession. I love being a mother, but I wish I had not quit my career - I am not happy being an SAHM, being dependent on others!
