Reflection on Maternal Instinct

When I read the title I thought I would enjoy this story for I had a different idea of what was it. It tells about a miscarried woman named Laura who has 8 children with 7 different men. From the moment I read this part it came to me of what kind of life this woman had. As I continue reading I began to see that the title is in someway the lacking element in the story. As I read I keep asking myself if this woman could really love her children without difference of who they are sons too. But she wasn't insensible when she thought on her daughter having the same harsh life she had and wanted to spare them from making their same mistakes. I uunderstood that we have not right to judge our parents regarding the decisions they took and their impact in our lives. I would like to think they always want the best for us, even when there are some exceptions. I believe the maternal instinct is the most powerful of all. This gives a mother the strenght and perdurance to overcome any obstacle so that we can develope until the moment it's already our turn and beyond.
