Before when I didn't have kids I didn't think much about being a mother or even with what my mom felt. But when I had my own 3kids it felt good coz now I got 3 kiddies to grow old with me and when they get to their adult age it will be the other way around they'll be the one taking care of me.The best of being a mother is having your kids by your side all the time especially when you're stress out or sad or even mad there their to comfort you all the way.

That old vulgar phrase comes to mind, a daddy can be many, but a mommy can only be one. Yes it is when we become mommies that we appreciate life more. We do not come with manuals so listening and observing is the best way to go, then instilling what you as a mother feels is right for your kiddos.
Good luck to you with your three kids, may your life with them be full of love and joy!

for me the best thing is when my son smiles at me. i can read in his eyes that unselfless love that he feels for me. i wouldn't give those moment for anything in the world, they are verry special to me. he is not talking yet, but from time to time he comes to me and just puts his little hands arround me and hugs me. i think this are the best things, and affter this you are so recharged that you have the energy to do your things thats need to be done.

Hi there empress1684
For me the best thing about being a mum is when my kids come up to me for no reason, give me a hug and tell me they love me! I then know that I have brought my kids up to be caring and loving and I must say that at least one of them (I have 3 boys) at some point in the day will do just that!

The best thing being a mother is the reality that i am capable of being one.
Not all mothers are perfect no matter how they wanted and do their best.
Not all mothers are being appreciated by their kids.
No matter how bad a mother is,still the fact that she let us live in this world is enough to prove that she should be appreciated and given honor for bringing us into this life(not all kids are born,some babies are aborted by their own moms)
So,i can say that even if i am not a perfect mother i am proud of being a mother to my kids.
Have a wonderful weekend ahead

There are so many good things about being a mother. The rewards are priceless. I don't know what I would do without my children in my life. The best thing about being a mother is the special bond you have with your children. It is a relationship that you can not get from anyonr else.

Being as mother,we can take care our babies when they are helpless, educated them as they grow up and take pains that they have good character. we have to teach to our kids to follow right path which is good for them. All time we should guided our child.If we want our child to be a good discipline then we should teach how to respect elder.

I think that the best thing about being a mother is the fact that I have my children there to tell me every day that they love me. I am able to have a bad day from time to time and whenever either my daughter or my son tells me that they love me, then I am instantly having a much better day than I was having before they said those simple words to me. In addition to that, to see that I am able to raise respectable individuals and that makes me know that I am doing something right in my life.

i am a mother to a 2yo girl, and i must say that the best of being a mother is no matter how tired or angry you are (either with work, or with people, or with actual raising of kids), just hearing the laugh and seeing the smile of your babies just makes you smile and warms your heart. sometimes i feel bad whenever i scold my daughter and she cries. then after a while she goes to me and says sorry while sobbing. then after a few minutes more she goes back to me with this really wonderful smile and embraces me as if nothing happened it makes me feel guilty whenever this happens. another best thing... knowing that you have raised your own child to become a good person, knowing that you are that one person who will love them unconditionally, and knowing that they will love you back.

In some ways, it is very scary being a mother. You are responsible for your children. You cannot just go and do whatever pleases you, you have to remember that there is the little one or ones watching you all the time. And what you do affects them.
I am sooo amazed at how much my kids are picking up from me - things I say and do. That is why I need to be extra careful all the time.
On the other hand, it feels so comfortable watching your kids. Sure, there are times when I am ready to tear my hairs off, but they are so innocent and in a quick second, I am full of love again.

I think the most important part of being a mother is giving: caring for them as babies when they are helpless, educating them as they grow, and taking pains that they have good character and can get along well with others. I disagree that having kids is so that they will be around to take care of us when we are old, or "hang out" with when they are of age. We have childgren to give, not to receive.
