I have been asking the question "Is maternal
instinct really an instict or is it learned
behaviour?"
I ask this as a question as I am unsure of
the answer. Is it really within every woman,
or is it something that has been a
conditioned response since childhood.
Why are little girls given prams and dolls to
play with as kids, to prepare them for their
role later as a mother?
hoofy nice topic " maternal instinct, i think
does come to play a part of your gender as a
female as the saying goes nothing worse then
the scorn of a mother a lioness to protect
her cubs would stop at nothing
Sam you misinterpreted what my question was.
I understand what you were saying bout the
lioness but think of this....
In a lioness's environment if one of her cubs
is really ill and cannot keep up with the
pride then the cub is left to die.....if a
human baby was ill the mother would nurse the
kid back to health.
One is an instinctual preservation of the
animals family the other is the instinctual
preservation of the individual.
Animal insinct differs from human instinct.
The difference is emotion.
"anna before three months how many times if
some thing is not meant to be then this is
what is to be we as simple human beings we r
what we r why do ppl not see this
Sam we were talking about maternal instinct
(Lioness). You mentioned the paternal
instinct (Lion) Anyway, I was asking about
human instinct. Is it within every woman from
birth or is it learned behaviour by means of
stimuli such as baby dolls and prams..?
Also, Sam could you use full stops in your
statements as I am finding it hard to
decipher your ramblings. Sentences are much
better for me to understand where your coming
from. Thanks
Angelfire I'm sorry for your losses. Can I
ask if you had no maternal instinct why would
you try for a baby?
anna you know what even in that case how many
kids out there with out parents would like to
be loved by some one if i could not produce a
child i have enough compassion and love in my
heart to provide a home for them
hoofy by birth ? it is a maternal instinct
this is the rule of nature and as in the
animal kingdom "if the child was not to
survive you would not continue to hold it
hoping but accept it and let let go as life
will go on
It seems not Angelfire! But you can always
try and put yourself in this girls shoes. Be
a good responsible role model for this girl.
It's hard dealing with your parents splitting
up and the "other" woman idea takes a lot of
understanding to break and dispel.
but denny these kids need some one in there
life's ya know, as a cop i can not tell ya
what i do to help kids as i would contradict
my self as some one to enforce the law
denny i am getting [censored]ed but bless you
swthrt its to understand what you do and why
!!!!!!!!! sorry but after what i have been
through i don't give a s hit about things and
would not be fare to ask
Yeah Sam, you probably have dealt with all
sorts in your line of work! But doesn't that
come with the territory! Same way a nurse
sees all sorts of injuries on a daily basis!
It's what you signed up for!
I dont like kids. I dont like to hold peoples
babies and i dont go googoogaga over babies
in prams. I dont like babysittting, amusing
children or chatting endlessly about how
they've grown and arent they big and clever
now.
BUT I have 3 kids who I love and will cuddle
them endlessly. I dont care about other
peoples kids, I only bother about mine. I
have to work hard sometimes to keep my cool
when they are little [censored]s and they do
my head in from time to time. Nonetheless,
they are mine and I am ultimately responsible
for their health and wellbeing (and their dad
and the nanny) I dont think maternal
instincts are guaranteed to ever mother, but
once you learn them you dont forget. And when
you cradle your limp grey faced blue lipped
baby in your arms and drip rehydration fluid
into their mouth as all they can do is vomit
and skitter, then you do appreciate them a
little more.
Your amn sounds like he needs to wind his
neck in and take your side for once anna.
Kids are always stroppy at that age, I know i
was a wee shyte. But when they see a
situation they can exploit (i.e. wicked
stepmother stealing daddy away from mummy and
ignoring baby) you can be sure they will play
every trick in the book to get what they
want. DOnt let her get to you cos she's
winning then. Play her at her own game, the
little mare.
Failing that, a sharp nip in the fleshy
underarm skin can be a great help.
