Comment by Yww on The Black-Haired British Doctor - Chapter 13

@Yww @Yww And another fact historians love to push the narrative that mothers were stoic cold and emotionless around their children witht he children ebcause of how high the morality rate was in-fact this was primary reason why in the middle ages children who turned seven were considered because it was extrmely rare for a child to grow up and even more rare not to die around that time limit

 

So in often cases families have to create LARGE ammount of children because most would likely have died off. 

 

But in truth while the moralty rate did cause for high children it didn't stop or help when a child died r anwyays since most parent cried theyw ere just as emotinal as modern day parents. When their child died they felt deep sadness anger and quesiton because they wonder what they did wrong

 

Grief works in ways and it's sad how many mothers in the past.

 

And it was hard to emotionally distance when they are always around you. .
