Should a mother allow her child to see her weaknesses?

Tweet

Each person has a weakness. And so it is just normal that a mother has her own too. But the usual thing that she does when she feels weak, be it physically or emotionally, is to hide it from her child. I, myself, a mother of a 4-year old boy tends to hide my tears from my boy everytime, as much as possible, i want him to see me a strong person whom he can always lean on, run on if he's hurting. I want to inculcate in his heart and mind that I am his mother whom he can entrust his pains and who can protect him. But can we stand for our ground that mothers are really strong as we want to embede in the hearts and mind of our children?
