The roles of woman, mother, and wife in a woman's life were topics of debate in the latest podcast "Because Your Mother Says So" with Camila Guiribitey and her mother La Mamilover.
From their personal experiences, both offered their perspective on this issue, which can be controversial and bring with it many conflicting opinions.
“I am a mother above all,” said La Mamilover, very convinced and confident; however, Camila, who is also already a mother of two, pointed out that for her, each role gains significance depending on the stage of life she is in.
The Cuban dentist brought to light a very pressing issue, which is that women, in the midst of motherhood, often place being wives and women in the background because their entire world revolves around their children, especially when they are young.
The Mamilover cited those situations where men make women choose between them and their children and firmly stated that if it happened to her, she would be a mother above all else.
For Camila, a kind of balance is required where being a mother does not completely overshadow being a wife and a woman, because in the long run, that destroys relationships.
Both agreed that the love of a wife and the love of a mother cannot be compared and that there is no point in trying to determine which is superior to the other, as they are completely different. “You love differently (...) The love for a child is not comparable to the love for a husband,” says Camila.
In each episode of the podcast, Camila Guiribitey and La Mamilover bring up topics that are always necessary to discuss and debate. For their followers, it's always very refreshing to see women from two different generations engaging in dialogue and sharing their viewpoints that do not always align, but that is where the richness lies.
