Watch | Real life mothers open up like never before

There's no given way of being a mother. There's a certain notion of a “perfect, selfless” mother that has been traditionally handed down to us over centuries where we've internalized the pressures that come with being a mother. With a surge in more women choosing motherhood at a certain age which is visibly deviated from the older age bar, with more women delaying babies, with women actively juggling kids and careers at the same time, new age mums seem to be opinionated, strong willed and sometimes stubborn. We question the existing, highly simplified, universally unchallenged version of the mother figure and the potentially painful loss of self-hood that motherhood entails.
