I lvoe my kids dearly I wouldnt trade being a mom for anything in the world. I love it when they come cuddle with me and say I love you. Also when they dont feel good and they want mommy to be right there because it makes them feel better. I love hearing a cute little song when I dont feel good. My daughter made up a song " mommy feel better soon" and she will sing it till I say honey I am feeling better thank you.

For me it's spending my time with my son. I love dropping him to school and picking him up. I love it when we walk in th emall holding his hands and answering all his questions about anything he sees. Its the times where he just wants me around all the time and loves mommy around all the time. Its that loving feeling where your kid just wants you with him 24/7. It is tiring I have to say but I wouldn't wish anything else for that.

For me, just knowing that a part of me is in my son, and watching him grow and learn new things is the best part for me. He is just under a year old, and seems like he is learning new things every day. I love watching him eat something for the first time, or playing with a new toy for the first time. But most of all i love when he wakes up, looks at me and smiles. That little smile can turn any bad day into a good day.

I have to agree their cute little faces that make you melt have to be a great part of being a mom. I love it when my son with make this scrunched face and being all happy then start bouncying on his knees and crawl away then come back and give me kisses. It is so adorable. Oh and by far slobbery kisses is another best part of being a mom!!!

I love being a mum, I have 2 younge boys, they just bring me laughter, joy, peace and I love the fact that I am watching them grow. I protect them, we are like best friends and I am their internal teacher and role model. I love them with all my heart and they can never be replaced with any other thing. The way i look at it is that God gave them to me, so i must do my part by protecting them and help to shape up their life by showering them with the unconditional love and direction to succeed.

I'm not sure which is the best part - when I look in his eyes, when I hug him, when he falls asleep in my arms...I think all those little things that makes you feel your heart is full of love to this little soul.

I agree when you are holding them or wiping away there tears it just makes you feel so good knowing they need you and you are their hero. No one else can take your place you have made them and help keep them safe. I love it I cant believe how much love you can have for them. I am just amazed by them every single day.

Exactly there is nothing that can discribe the feeling you get from the day you find out your pregnant to the day they grow up and move out. Being a mom is so spacial and rewarding. I just love it so much. I am so happy that I could experience the feeling I have from my kids.I would have never learned a lot of the stuff I have without them.

hi there :) even though I'm not yet a mom, I'd still like to answer your question. i think the best part of being a mom is that when she gets old, she sees her sons and daughters living the good life and putting God as the center of their lives. a woman will feel that she has done a wonderful job as a mother if her young ones turn into children of God and spread good deeds to others. i think every mom would want that for her children. that would be very fulfilling.

I agree I believe that once you see them grow up making the right choices and being all they can be it just warms your heart knowing you did the right thing when raising them. I cant wait for that moment when I know that i rasied them well and they made the right choices and have become what they wanted and done it well.

One of the best parts of being a mom is when you become a grandma. I do not live as close to my grandchildren as I would like, but I love to talk to the four year old on the phone. She is very much like her mom used to be. Very precise about things. For instance, today could not be Valentine's Day, because today is "Church Day". You know the phrase "rolling on the floor laughing"? Well when I told her that today would be both church day and Valentine's Day, that is what she did. She rolled on the floor laughing. I love that my adult daughter gives me credit for all of her terrific talents, and says she is just like me. I admire her so much, she is doing many things that I dreamed of doing, and is the person I wish I was. I guess that that is something you younger parents can look forward to, seeing how your kids grow up.

I can not wait for this day I dont want her to become a mom as early as i did but if she does I know she will be a great mom. She is only 5 so no worries for a while but she helps out and looks after he little brothers and makes sure they are taking care of. I know that when she grows up she will be brillant and know that mommy made a lot of mistakes that she learned from and hope that she wouldnt follow these bad examples. I know I made mistakes but I wouldnt trade the experiences or the knowlege from them for anything. If I regreted them I would be regretting my whole life. You live and you learn thats how it works.

I agree when they behave well it makes you feel so good like you did your job very well. I love it when the kids are being good and someone says they are so well behaved and your like in your mind right now they are but most of time they are not. LOL I just chuckle and say yeah they can be good kids sometimes lmao.

I guess for me, one of the best parts is watching your kids become seperate from you and ready to make their own choices. And then making good choices. Practicing what we spend years teaching them and hoping they are paying attention to.

exactly you never know if they are very listening and paying attention untill that day they groe up and are in a rut and know exactly what to do and make you so proud by handling it on their own then you get upset because your baby has grown up and can take care of themselves now. I wish they stayed kids forever. The world is so mean and rough anymore I would hate to know they would have to deal with that.

Even though I'm not a mother yet, I believe the best part of being a mother is the love you share with your child. There is no love greater than the love a mother has for her child. It must be a wonderful feeling to know that there is at least one person in the word that will love you unconditionally! I can't wait until I have my first child so I can truly experience the feeling you get when you hear your child tell you that they love you!

It is great and it is wonderful how the second you find out you have a baby inside of you, you are so in love with this baby from that second! I just cant describe it.
