Session 2 Lecture

[Madeline George]

Dr Yan’s lecture made me think that Chinese women, and moms in particular are under more pressure than ever.  It seems the shift is from supporting the husband to creating your own perfect child... no pressure there!   It seems like the government dismantled the importance of the family, implemented rules limiting family size and then realized,”Oops! We can’t handle all of the responsibilities that the family unit covered!”  Oh no! Be spontaneous!  Innovate!we can’t make it work’ but you all, just  innovate!”    Good Grief!
