My experience is a little different from yours in that motherhood confirmed the absolute non existence of God, in any form, for me.
I find people tend to limit my experience / knowledge / capabilities because I am a mother, rather than lending me ethical insights due to motherhood.
I hear 'As a mother' generally in conversations where children are being discussed and there it is relevant as shorthand for 'I have been through birth / child raising and it has informed my insight on x'.
But then, it has to be said, I don't come into contact with yummy mummies at the school gates. They all avoid me as I am clearly Other as far as they are concerned.
