Eating disorders are a growing concern among women. This paper examines the possible effect this can have on mothers using three different concepts taken from the same perspective, the symbolic interactionalism. It gives a view of both some of the current research available, a few interviews with women and some women that have been writhing in different forums on the internet. These women have been or are affected by an eating disorder of some kind while having young children. While most scientific research shows that the impact a eating disorder have on mothers are amongst other things difficulty with breastfeeding and helping the child maintain a normal and beneficial weight, this paper argue that the women in question think they can and are fulfilling the mother roll, despite the eating disorder. The conclusion of this paper is that they can fulfil their mother roll because they separate it from the roll of the woman. This conclusion is in part build upon a few interviews and the writing of some women on the internet, which may explain the difference between its conclusion and that of the scientific studies who argues differently.
