Mother's Knows Best - What can you say about this quote?

Hello emetha.. First of all, welcome to mylot. Yes! I agree on that quote. Mother really knows best for us. Whatever problems we might encounter, she would really make the right decisions for us. At some point, sometimes we tend to realize that her decision is wrong, but the truth is, she really loves you and she cares a lot for you. If you think that you are more correct than her decision or advice, try to think twice or even thrice, and weigh if what really is the correct decision without the feeling of guilt to yourself. Have a nice day and God speed!

Hi. I most of time follow my mother and try to seek some help from her in what ever matter it is possible to do so but many a ties we differ in our opinion and I don't think that when I follow my heart or my thought in those cases, she feels that I am rebelling. It does happen some times that things don't workout as I plan but still she helps me in finding a way out.

I think I agree with you. I always said to my husband if we have different opinion about the kids, that I know them better than him, since I'm he one who spend most of the time with my children. And I think he also agree with me when it turn to that issues.

hey, i don't think you are following the idea which your mother have offered . when we ask others for advise there has been opinion in our minds .what we want to do is ensure it and find some agreement . we follow others only when they are is consistantly same with our idea . do you agree?

hi emetha!i think when we were children, mom really knew what was best for us, mainly because of our inexperience at that time. but as we grow older and experience life, we come to realize what is best for each one of us. however, i think even as adults, we also have to consult with our mom every now and then on certain issues. even if you may not agree with what she says, at least this act shows her that you respect her ideas and opinions. after all, we consult our peers on some decisions that we have to make. don't we? like any individual, moms are not perfect, but most moms do the best that they can to love and nurture their children.

As a mother I can say that of course we know best! lol. Well, ok, we're not perfect & can sometimes be wrong, but generally we do know what is best, especially as we have been a child once too! I remember the things my mum would say & do. I remember her telling me that she knew best. Now that I'm grown & have kids of my own, I know she was right. Sadly I lost my mum to cancer when I was 21 (I'm now 39). I wish she was still around to offer advice. But I do use what I learnt from her with my kids, and I know that one day my kids will realise that I do know whats best.

No. Most parents love their children and have a fairly good grasp of what they think is best for them, but this does not make them perfect or infallible. They are there to guide you and help you make decisions in the best way they can, but in the final end, your life is yours to live. Deep in your heart you know what is best for you, and even if it is not, but if you want to, then it is your right to do so. Sometimes to grow and learn, we have to make our own mistakes, painful though they may be. Our parents will try to their best to shield you from such, but that is how growth and maturity occurs. So yes, your mother doesn't always know best, but i'm sure she is doing her best to raise you right. The choice of following her advice is still completely yours.

I can't say that mothers know best, we are all human and are entitled to make mistakes. What I can say about being a mother is we know better than that of our youthful counterparts. Our children tend to look up at us for answers, even as they become older, they may not ask for advice, but they certainly need it. I can't say I know everything, but I do know that we have better advice than most. My mother for example has never steered me wrong throughout my life, many times I have chosen not to listen and always the outcome has been as she described, so in my later years I have come to trust her advice and instruction.

i wish i could tell that my mother is also like that but she isnt, i still love her though.

nowadays yougsters always rebel aginst parents.it is for your own good that they tell u to behave.if u dont take her adivce then i think u r getiing outta control.u need to talk things and speak to each other regarding rebellious issues if any!

my mother doesnot know what is best for me I think.she makes decisions according to her experence which may not fit me.if your mother is very smart,and you think what she says is helpful.Just follow her.but from my point of view,we should learn to make decision by ourselves.

She knows best because of her life experience. So she tells us whats right and wrong and what we shouldn't do because she knows from her life experience.
