I would not mind a motherhood where that was my purpose—to foster my son’s mind and teach him the intellectual values of his parents. But no; society tells me my role is to change his napkins and coo over the faces he makes, and in so doing abandon the things I want him to treasure when he is grown.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Marie Brennan" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/marie-brennan/and-all-the-while-i-have-people-telling-me-at-least-you-still-have/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8b5/marie-brennan-25363_books_and-all-the-while-i-have-people-telling_251695.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8b5/marie-brennan-25363_books_and-all-the-while-i-have-people-telling_251695.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/8b5/marie-brennan-25363_books_and-all-the-while-i-have-people-telling_251695.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“And all the while I have people telling me, at least you still have something of your husband .
