What is the hardest thing about being a mother.

being a mother is a difficult task and at the same time a happy task. difficult when your kids got sick,and get astray. my life is spent all the way for my children and i would do all i can to let them grow in a right way. i made sure that they are safe and secure all the time. one thing that is difficult of being a mother, is when my children got sick.

the really hard thing about being a mom is that you have to be there mom first there first friend first playmate and first teacher.you worry about them when they get older you cry when they are hurt you try to teach them to do things on their own and you care for them 24 hours a day 7 days a week and we do not get mommy time very often you stand up for them you are pround of what they accomplished on their own.and yes there things that the children say that will make you feel like you had said something that was bad but they might had heard it from others but through all the trails and heartaches of being a mother you have to ask your self was it all worth it I know if I had to do it all over again I would. God Bless you

I am a mother of two. My eldest is 3 years old and youngest is 6 months. What has been the most difficult part? To completely potty train my older son. Now he is fully trained and I have stopped buying diapers.

I think the mostdifficult part is to teach your kid the goods and the bads that will help them in being a good human intheir later life. All said and done we mothers, as normal human beings, do lot of mistakes right in front of the kid and fall in our own trap. Like you said they simply copy your actions. So it is a good learning for us that we better be good for them to be good :)

I have only been a mommy for 2 months and I think the hardest thing so far os to leave her to go to work!

I myself think the hardest thing about being a mother is seeing your child struggle and be in pain when they are hurt. I never understood why my mother was so worried about me growing up until I had my own. My baby was born 16 weeks early and in the hospital. It hurts to watch your child be in pain and be sick. I hate going to the hospital and seeing him hooked up to machines. When he cries I cant even comfort him.

For me there has been a few things that I consider the hardest. It changes with their ages in a way. We have 8 kids (including our 2 year old granddaughter that we are raising). At her age it is just watching out for her and making sure that she is not picking up bad things. Like the language that you mentioned! It sure is hard to keep them from picking up bad things. Next for me is having to discipline her and seeing the hurt in her eyes! Ugh I hate that one! lol Then as they get older it is seeing them hurt or picked on, knowing that they will go through this no matter what you do really. Seeing them in any kind of pain hurts. With 8 kids ages, 2, 14, 17, 18, 18, 21, 24, and 25 I could go on and on. It never stops either. The saying once a mother, always a mother is right on target!

For me it is the emotional aspect of it all. You love them to pieces and they are going to frustrate you, hurt you...you are going to do the same to them. I raised 4...one is still at home and I raised them on my own...all girls. We are all so close and yet there have been times when we were at each others throats. And it is so true...the one that is most like me in my most negative qualities is the one that is the most challenging to get along with. Still...wouldn't change it for the world. They are the best things in my life.

I think the hardest thing about being a mother is worrying all the time. When they go places with out me I worry. When my little one is out with me I am worried he is going to go run off or someone is going to take him. The thought of losing one of the them is the hardest thing about being a mother. I don't think I could bare it if something aweful happened to one of my children. a couple of years ago my daughters stomach stopped working and would not digest food. It was a very scary thing. Lucky for us they gave her some medication that worked and she got better, but is very scary to be told your child's stomach is basically paralized. My youngest also walked out the front door one time, my husband had thought I locked it and I thought he locked it after some visitors stopped by. I was fixing dinner, and I noticed my son was not there. Then I saw the front door wide opened and we could not find him anywhere. Five minutes later my husband found him in the street, but that was so terifying. That is the hardest thing about being a mother.

My daughter is 21 months and I have 2 step-kids who are 11 and 8. I think the hardest part of being a mom is that of time. Time for myself, time to do the things I want to do. I do miss those days when I could go anytime to Starbucks and enjoy some "me" time. Right now, my toddler demands my attention even more because she's so interactive now that I sometimes struggle trying to get some writing done. Still, though, I wouldn't change it for the world. Having children has taught me to be selfless and that it's not all about me. So now, when I escape to my mommy time-outs, I appreciate them even more.

The hardest thing about being a mother is watching your child reject the principals you've taught them and follow after their peers down a road to trouble. Once they are of age, there is legally nothing that you can do but pray. Do you try to help, or would that make you an enabler?

Being a Mom, Mother, is a gift with no rule book, no real right and wrong way of teaching. Yet, we as mom's are scrutinized for different ways of being a Mom. Not by everyone, by our own children at times. That is how it is with my own anyway. The hardest part of being a Mother is when your children don't feel they need you anymore. That they treat you as if you don't exist, or not able to use our brain anymore. They roll their eyes at you with no respect in who you are and who you have been in their life. They use you as if you were a rug that doesn't have a heart. That doesn't care that even though they are adults now they are still our concern, we still worry, we still care, we can still teach, we can still give advice, we respect them for who they have become, Love them regardless of the bumps in the road they hit. Just because they have become an adult doesn't mean that gives them the right to disrespect who the person we are. Regardless of mistakes we all learned from them and got through. Now that they are all grown with their own life, it seems mine doesn't matter and I shouldn't bother them. They only contact me when they want something or need something to be done for them. This is the hardest for me now being a mom of three beautiful girls. I know it isn't that way for all families, I have seen beautiful families that still grow together no matter the age. I do know how it feels as your children grow to being adults, to go live on their own. I love the way they have been able to do, to grow, to learn even as an adult. We do this the whole of our life. Oh I could write a book here.... There are many journey's we take as a parent, I pray that all keep the memories of those journey's within your heart always.

I agree with you. But, I think the difficult is how to be patience. Most of the time I spend with my two kids is dealing with patience, controlling emotion.

i just gave birth to my boy early this year. The hardest thing about being a mother i think is to keep patience . There are lots of work to raise a baby . You just keep busy all the day around washing clothes , feeding , etc. You will be much more tired when he is sick . Without love and patience you fail to be a mother.

The hardest thing for me was admitting I was wrong to my children and apologizing. My parents were raised old school and were "always right" and I don't think I ever got an apology from them for anything. Somewhere along the way, I decided that this sets a bad example. I think if children can see their parents being wrong and handling it honestly, it makes it a lot easier for them to own up and do the right thing when they do something wrong.
