I saw a post a while ago asking the question in the next lifetime would you want the same mother
And I think what melted me was somebody's response which was hell no but I want to be her mother because, damn.
Do you think it is arrogant to want to be your own real mother's mother in the next lifetime?

No.
I think it’s a tad arrogant because going back two generations we think we’d be better, more informed, more gentle, etc but really if we were in that position (back in time not plucked from who we are now) who knows because it was the era before readily available information and the new norms of empathy and mutual respect. I mean I think I’d do better because honestly my mom sucked ass and all the women on that side were basically raised in a religious cult, including myself lol but I’m the only one who broke that cycle and am raising my kids differently, but I’m sure there’s been other invisible cycles that my grandmother broke that because of that I thankfully never had to experience
