Mylot mothers! Am I wrong?

I dont think motherhood is dying. I am a proud mother, i know i dont do everything by the book - i missed the day they handed out free copies, lol- but i know i am a good mother, i love my son and always will treat him with respect. I dont scream and yell or hit my child and always TRY to act nice and like it is not a burden to tend to his needs, even though sometimes i really cant be bothered. I think more people should cherish their loved ones, people are so often taken for granted.

Being a mother is the most rewarding thing that have happened to me in my entire life and i treasure my kids more than anything in this world. I just find it hard for those other parents that they cannot do their job as parents well and raise their kids that way, i do not think parenthood is dying is just people nowadays take a lot of things for granted in exchange for money, fame and fortune...and they blame their kids for being bad...i am trying my best to be a good mother and a good parent.

oh dear. I cherish my child with all my soul and it's because of her that i work so hard for her future. :) i can't believe mothers would do such a thing. i don't think children are just "responsibilities". they're your life! once you bring a child into this world, you no longer live for yourself. you live for them! right?!

Of course I cherish my child. Of course parenting is hard work. And there are sick people out there. You will tend to hear news stories about the sick ones, not the good ones.

I think new society is changing the basics of the family which is changing so much. Plus if you live outside the US I'll bet Brittany Spears is a headline they are seeing alot, that can't be making us look to good to the world when it comes to parenting. I do have to admit though with the stay at home mom now basically extinct it has changed the home dynamic drastically. I was much closer to my paternal grandmother because my parents were always gone working, helping charities and literally campaigning state to state for their politicians. I think bonds I would normally have had with my mother basically bonded with my Grandmother instead. Me and my mom get a long but its not the relationship one would think you'd have with your mom/parents.

Hi ersmommy1 , You are absolutely right.Just few peoples in the world may have such problems for diffrent reasons.But parent hood is never going to die at all. Particularly mother hood is the best gift by god to human being and always a big pleasure and matter of proud for a mother. it is not going to die at all reasons.

In one respect, yes, there are still a lot of Good Mothers out there who really deserve the title, and should Win Mom of the yr. I know some Mom's who even though they have to work to make ends meet still are there for their children and would give their shirt off of their back if they had too just to make sure they are happy. Yes, I will also admit there is a lot of moms also out there that I would question if they are a Good Mom or not. Sometimes it could stem from a lot of reasons, but in todays society unless you Win the Lottery, a lot of Moms also have to work so some neglect their parent responsibilities and turn their life to things not so good. Honestly I wish that all Mothers would take time to admit when they are in no position to take care of their children and offer them up for a Foster home, and adoption. The problem is sometimes finding them agencies and such that are out there to help them when they need it. So in turn they end up doing things maybe someday they can look back and regret. Just my thoughts.

Hello I for one firmly believes that we are parents and we are all trying to be our best. Anyone who says parenthood is dying then let them say it but deep in my heart I am a proud parent that will protect love and dedicate my whole life to my child.

Motherhood is not dying, but there are girls who have babies before they are in their middle teens and being children themselves they have not developed the skill of motherhood. It is also unfortunate that when you finally develop those skills, that your chance of motherhood is decreased. Maybe that is what they are talking about that the lack of mothering skills is not passed on, and those who should be parents develop that skill too late.

I don't think motherhood is dying. Maybe it is changing/has changed, but it is always going to be motherhood. You don't have to be a stay at home parent to be a good mom. And you don't have to be perfect. I don't understand why anyone would say motherhood is dying. Change is an important part of life, and motherhood has changed a lot over the generations – in many ways for the better! We have a much better understanding of the psychology of kids than we once did, which leads us to treat them better. Sure, moms were always home a few generations back – but they also had some pretty backward ideas of how to teach kids to handle their emotions!

I agree that there are only a few who have those sentiments. Maybe they have past experiences that made them think that parenthood is no longer a blessing and a duty. Being a parent is a wonderful blessing for God has given you a child to love, care and mold. It's not an easy job, sometimes your kids are not even grateful but still, it is a task worth having and cherished.
