I have assumed for sometime that if you said to a young woman that she would make a good mother she'd be incredibly offended.
I don't know why I assume this: perhaps I have heard someone say something like that almost exactly; or maybe it's a melange of bits and pieces I've picked up over the years.
But is this true? Or does it depend on the woman? I know if someone said to me that I would make a good father my heart would swell until it exploded, but maybe I'm the exception to the rule?
