Do you enjoy being a mother?

I enjoy being a mother especially when my son was still a baby and I prepared everything for him. I love carrying him on my lap and singing as I let him coo and smile at me. It feels so refreshing watching that smile form into his lips. It is the best part of my life being a mother. As children grow, things become different. Children will have their own world and life becomes lonelier. I am waiting for the time when I will be a grandmother to my son's children. But still, I am happy being a mother to an only boy.

Being a mother is the one of the best things that happened to my life. When my daughter was still an infant I love watching her sleep and smile. As she grows up, it fascinates me to hear her laugh and giggle. Now she's three years old and I love looking at her amazing beautiful eyes that she got from her dad. She has the sweetest smile ever. It sound like you have a very adorable son. You will enjoy more of your son as he grows old. I'm sure. Just curious how old is your little angel now?

My son is already seventeen years old and I feel sad that he wants to go into the Police Academy. I would have wanted him to pursue what he started in marine engineering but he wants to be a cop and I can't do anything.

Yes i do, being a mother is not really very easy, it takes "hard work and patience to become an effective mother. But, nevertheless, all is fine when i see my kids smile and laugh. I love playing with them and bonding with them everyday. Basically, i am the one personally taking care of my kids. Before i used to get a baby sitter for them, that was when i was still working as a regular employee on a government institution. But, when i notice my kids were not getting enough caring, well we know that some maids were not really doing their job right. They instead watch Tv or just doing anything around the house. I decided to stop and quit my job and stay home instead. I choose to take care of my kids now because i believe that at their young age they needed a lot of attention. Sometimes i get tired too, because my eldest is very-super-active. She is a spoiled-brat, and i have a baby boy to look up too, but still i just thought that i have to be tough for them, and i should not let my "mood" gets into me. They were only kids, and they need me...I love my kids so much and i will do everything to make them happy...and i am proud to be a mom =_

I do enjoy it. I am still accepting that I am not a free person anymore. Meaning I can't sleep in all day if I wanted or just do whatever I want. I love my baby with all my heart though and she is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I love playing with her and being there when she learns something new and the look she gets on her face when she does something for the first time or accomplishes something as little as completeing a puzzle or saying a new word. I read all these stories about parents who abuse and kill their children and I look at mine and just wonder how anyone could do that to a precious child??

You sound like the mother of an only child. How would I know? I am the mother of an only daughter and I cannot imagine life without her. She came along somewhat late in life and was quite a surprise because I never thought I would have children. I didn't even think I would like being a mom...it seemed like a very confining existence and even though I helped raise other children I did not have the outright responsibility for them. When I found out I was pregnant I was terrified. I was so unprepared for this new little person who was about to appear. Now I can't remember what life was before she came! She is at that stage where she is starting to have her own friends but she is a momma's girl....she loves to stay around me all the time. I know that may change in the future but I am going to enjoy it while I can.

You're married only for eight months and that's not too long. Have patience and your baby will soon come to you. My brother's wife got pregnant after more than ten years of marriage. I'm sure that time will come to you. You may take vitamins and make yourself healthy. Some women have a hard time getting pregnant and it helps if you keep yourself healthy. Why don't you go to the doctor and have a check up? Good luck and I wish your baby would come very soon.

I love being a mom too. But as much as I want to be with my kids everyday, I can't because I have to work. At least I know that I am working for my kids and their future and I just look forward to going home to my kids each day who will meet me at the door with their small arms open and hug me as soon as I step in the door. They would immediately stop whatever they are doing just to welcome me home and it really eases out my weariness from work. Whenever I feel stressed, I just spend time with them and I feel a lot better because I know that everything I do for them is worth it.

As a first time mom, i feel so blessed and enjoying so much every moment with my daughter. At 6 months a lot of difficulties has come already specially that i live far away from my own mother so she can guide me. Learning things on my own, i am enjoying the experience with capturing every new milestones of my baby. I'm still on my first step as a mom and hope to be if not the best but to be successful in molding her to become a good person.

its the greatest thing i have ever accomplished in my life! i loved them as babies and i adore them now. i love seeing them grow into their own person. i love seeing their imaginations, their taste in differant things and how they react to situations. i love knowing that i made these people and ive shaped them to be good strong girls. im happier as a mom than anything else.

Motherhood is a bliss. My son is eigth years now but I still remember the first time he spoke a word, the first time he took a step and every first of this eight years. I have enjoyed every moment of bringing him up thought I had some setbacks in the begining. I think my life is complete after I have become a mother. Motherhood has taught me so many things and I am grateful to god for giving me this opportunity and giving me a loving son.

Being a mother is the best thing on earth a woman could have. And it is not an ordinary thing to do. Being a mother takes a great responsibility. I have a son also. He is two years old now. I love having him. Though sometimes he has tantrums and it makes me mad. But overall there is no joy compared to being a mother and loving and seeing your child grow is the greatest fulfillment I have on earth.

Yes I do enjoy being a mother. My son is just of 26 month now. I enjoy him talking varios thing in his babbling speech. I love him watching playing with his teddy bear. He talks to it and acts if he is feeding it or bathing it. he eats himself with a spoon and also brushes his teeth. He looks so funny when he brushes his teeth and wash his face. He prefers everything done by himself like dreesing /undressing himself or taking off/wersing shoes though he needs help. Really being a mother is a great experience.

I love being a mother... and i don't regret it any single bit... i sacrificed a lot just to have my own child... now that i have her... i wouldn't trade motherhood for any riches in the world... i want to have more children in the future... and when i become a grandmother... i would even volunteer to take care of my grandkids...

I can say that the greatest thing in life that i have done is become a mother. I survived for YEARS, believing that I could be just as happy without a child; that I could lead a fulfilling life without knowing that joy. I almost convinced myself. Until the day I found out I was pregnant, until I heard his heartbeat and I found myself bawling on the exam table. I never knew I wanted something so much until I had it. I couldn't imagine not having my son... he's only 3, almost 3 1/2... I can't believe I convinced myself that my life could mean so much to me... without a child. Without my son. I guess, in the short of things, my answer is "HELL YEAH! I love being a mommy." Nothing brings me greater joy. Nothing could replace the happiness my son brings to my heart every day. No stress could convince me to to go back to being childless. I would rather have 3 year old tantrums every day than have to deal with adult drama, work-related, deadline missing, can't believe I still work for them BS. Yes, I love being a mommy.

I love being a mother. I'm a mother to my 2 yrs old baby girl and I'm expecting my second in two weeks! I feel like being a mom in itself is truly a blessing and a gift. I try to cherish every moment that I have with my baby and she brings so much joy into my husband and my life that no one or nothing can bring. I hope that as she grows, I set a good example to her as a woman and a mother and that I instill in her values that she'll incorporate into her life as she grows.
