Because of the complexity and differences of the social, cultural, and religious definitions and roles, it is challenging to define a mother in a universally accepted definition. This is what I got when I looked up mother.
As a mother we all want to do the right things in raising our children, but what is the right thing?
I know that I am not the mother that I thought I would be, but does that mean I'm not a good mother? I believe if we love our kids and try to our best ability to make them into productive members of society that are good people we have done our job. I love my children unconditionally and want them to be happy. I want my children to have everything they need and want. I want them to never feel alone, sadness or heartache........but I know that they will, and if they didn't then they wouldn't have experienced life. So maybe what I really want is for them to know that I will be there for them during all these things, and they can always count on mom to listen, comfort and understand.
Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there, know this is one job that you aren't going to get laid off from! Our work is never done and we love it!
