The article discusses the phenomenon of women with young children feeling guilty for sharing their parenting experiences, often leading them to apologize. The author expresses that these conversations are important and enlightening, particularly for those who may never have firsthand experience in this area. By encouraging open dialogue about motherhood, the writer emphasizes the value of these shared experiences in enriching the understanding of diverse human experiences, without the need for regret or apology from the storytellers.
Every woman I know with young children has at some point apologised to me for talking about this aspect of her life. My honest response is that you need not say sorry to a writer for telling them something they hadn't known.
Precisely because I am never going to personally dip my toe into this aspect of the human experience, I'm curious to hear what it's like.
