I don't know which society you mean, but if you are talking about the US or Australia or Britain, then generally women seem to see children as an accessory to their lives.
Many modern women wish to work, at the expense of a stable home life for children. They have careers, and pay someone a pittance to bring up their children, imbuing those children with the moral values of the child care workers, not seeing their own children's first steps, first teeth fall out, first anything.
