In the passage "Mothering is Liberation”, Allyson talks about how she had a hard time balance the life of being an educator and a mother. I had seen a lot of similar cases in the news. Back in my hometown, there are a lot of rural women can hardly make living on their own. Usually, they can only get very little money by planting some tobacco. They usually have more than one kids due to no contraceptive ways in rural places. They also face many contradictions in their life too. On the one hand, they want to provide a better life for their kids, so they need to leave their hometown and find jobs in big cities. However, on the other hand, they also need to stay with their kids, because mother is the best teacher for their kids, and every child cannot successfully grow up without mother’s love. It is kind hard for those families to find a proper position between two boundaries.
