Last night Samanta Villar premiered its new program "Samantha and ..." in which each week will address a different topic (beauty, sex, cyborgs, etc.) showing the least known or most controversial side of each. How could it be otherwise, his first program was dedicated to motherhood and to show different ways of living it and feeling it.
"Samantha and motherhood", intimate and personal tone, wanted show the hidden face of motherhood, the most difficult, the least talked about. It is something that the journalist has very much to the skin after having been the mother of twins sharing her own experience on TV, and after writing a book for which she was very criticized for saying that being a mother has lost quality of life. She is very active in social networks and that's where there have been the hottest reactions before the three stories we could see in the program.
Maternity and different paternity
The program revolved around three very telling stories, three experiences could be said to be extreme. We were able to learn about Trystan’s experience, a pregnant transgender man He underwent a sex change treatment but retained his uterus that allowed him to fulfill his desire to gestate a son.
I'm sorry, but I don't see the transgender boy naturally. Everyone who does what they want as long as it does not harm anyone, but it is not natural. # SamantaylaMaternidad

I love it #SamantaylaMaternidad hopefully one day we can treat surrogacy or pregnancy of the transgender man with normality

Another case we could see is that of a mother of twins who is totally disenchanted with motherhood, and although he loves his children, he confesses that if he could go back, he would not have them.
I declare myself a fan of the father of twins who counts the days to die. #SamantaylaMaternity

This couple who wanted to have twins, at a certain time etc. What do they think they were bought dolls? 🤔🤔🤔🤔 # SamantaylaMaternity

And finally, that of a couple from Cordoba who after a year without being able to conceive, they suddenly find themselves waiting for triplets Spontaneously. Samantha lives with them the birth, as well as the first weeks of babies at home and how the parents adapted to their new life.
Dose of reality for the mother of triplets. Before delivery: we will wear it great, I am very positive. After childbirth: if I know I do not ... #SamantaylaMaternidad making visible the real life, feelings and thoughts of brave women.

In addition, Samanta has the collaboration of personalities and friends such as Torito and singer Soraya Arnelas, who has also been labeled as a malamadre for going out to dinner six days after being a mother. Samantha asks him during the program a key question: "Is motherhood overrated?".
We started badly Soraya, saying "we all have the right to be parents". We have wishes, not rights and at any price. #SamantaylaMaternity

More reactions in social networks
Beyond the main reactions to the stories that were presented, Twitter was filled with comments about motherhood, one of the experiences that revolutionizes our lives, in every sense. Many reactions coincide in this and reopen the debate on whether or not quality of life is lost as a mother:

Being a mother you don't lose quality of life.
You lose the life you know and win a new one that is sometimes wonderful.
Many times I wonder what would have been of my life without children, if I had managed to do my projects and illusions. But I see them smile and then, I understand everything ... #SamantaylaMaternidad

Because milk raises so much stir to say that when you are a mother you lose quality of life if it is the truth #SamantaylaMaternidad

#SamantaylaMaternidad For me, quality of life is sleeping a lot, traveling, having intimacy with my partner and having hobbies. Are you sure you don't get lost?

"My happiness does not depend on my children, nor do I want my parents' happiness to depend only on me." Of course. It can't be that. Happiness depends on oneself. And if you need children to be happy, besides being sad, you are using them. #SamantaylaMaternity
- Beatriz Medina (@beamedinagurrea) November 7, 2017
One of the biggest criticisms of the program is that, except for the transgender man, the other stories are families that are not happy or who have been in an extreme situation like being parents of three children at the same time.
Criticize or not criticize? Seeing the comments that were going on, some users wanted to bring some peace to the conversation by encouraging others to stop criticizing how everyone lives their own maternity or paternity.
#SamantaylaMaternidad thanks to these programs I realize how intolerable that people x n let everyone be happy with their own life

We from the beginning (1st week), have decided to go out for lunch and dinner with them, and if they criticize that they criticize. pic.twitter.com/MxsQL9XSsT
Finally, there have also been those who say they watch the program it has taken away the desire to be parents:
I think that at this stage of the program pharmacies have run out of condoms and any other contraceptive means #SamantaylaMaternidad
