The roles of being a woman, mother, and wife were at the forefront of discussion in the latest episode of the podcast "Because Your Mother Says So," featuring Camila Guiribitey and her mother, known as La Mamilover. Drawing from personal experiences, both women shared their perspectives on this often controversial topic, which can lead to a variety of differing opinions.
"I am a mother above all else," La Mamilover firmly asserted. However, Camila, who is also a mother of two, expressed that the significance of each role shifts depending on the life stage she is in. The Cuban dentist highlighted a prevalent issue: women frequently prioritize motherhood over being wives and women, especially when their children are young.
La Mamilover provided an example of scenarios where men might force women to choose between them and their children, stating emphatically that her choice would always be to prioritize motherhood. Camila, on the other hand, emphasized the need for balance, suggesting that being a mother should not completely overshadow being a wife and a woman, as this imbalance can eventually harm romantic relationships.
Both agreed that the love for a spouse and the love for a child are incomparable and distinct. "The love is different... You can't compare the love for a child with that for a husband," Camila noted.
Each episode of the podcast sees Camila Guiribitey and La Mamilover tackling subjects that are essential to discuss and debate. Their followers find it refreshing to witness women from two different generations engaging in dialogue and sharing their sometimes divergent viewpoints, which is where the richness of the conversation lies.
