Mother, a 24/7 thing.....

so very true. mothers are on call 24/7 365 days. we also cannot afford to get sick cos who's going to do all the things we do? i got something forwarded to me in my email about how mothers say they are going to bed but then on the way they do a million things first before finally being able to actually get to bed. i wanted to share it with you but cutting and pasting is not allowed here (at least not yet for those with less than 500 rating).

That is really true, me, i usually wake up at three in the morning to prepare breakfast and lunch because my daughter has to bring packed lunch to school. After that i would wake her up so that she could take a bath. While she's taking her bath i am preparing her things and also cleaning the cookwares i used in cooking. We will have breakfast after that, then i will accompany my daughter to the tricycle station. When she has left already i will prepare for the office. I leave the house at seven in the morning. By that time traffic is heavy and difficult to get a ride. After office i would fetch my daughter in school, go home and prepare dinner. After dinner i will clean the kitchen and prepare for bed. By this time, it is about 10 o clock already. Oftentimes,i still have to help my daughter in her homeworks and school projects. I hate weekends because these are the days where i work non-stop at home. I would say that mothers are "Masters of Everything".

"MOTHER"..."MOM"...."AAI"..."AMMA"...this is how here in India we address the most beloved person on the earth... Thinking about writing this one....i feel really short of words....I have seen my mom pacing at a lighting speed....completing her routine chores....then back to office....back home again n then indulging again in the household activities.... Really not less than a ROBOT or a MACHINE... She is the person whom i admire the most...and really feel to become the same future ahead in my life.... Love You MOM....

I tend to think mothers are a 25/8 thing - ha ha. I am a stay-at-home mom, so definitely I am on call the whole day through. These days I am prepping our 5 year old for kindergarten in the fall . . . so I have her in more activities where she can be on her own without me (though I'm still in the background) - ha ha. But we also have a 7 month old - and of course he is with me all the time, especially since he still nurses. So yes, being a parent means you are a parent around the clock!!

MA ... the word itself depicts so many responsibilities,expectations,love,care inspite of being a two letter word...i am not a mother yet but my ma is my idol..she is a housewife but yet her work in the house is unending...one day my ma not at home...and by the end of the day it is a full mess, 1 day ma not at home nothing is at its own place,1 day ma not at home i am late for each and evry word...how can she do sa many things together...from the morning she starts ...my skul,dads ofice,household word,cooking etc etc...she is not only a mother but a wife, a daughter in law, an aunty... she has to take up all the responsibilities at the same time mother doesnt only mean doing household work,but also caring about evryones need which i have =seen my ma doing..taking care of evryone and standing upto evryones expectations ...which is not at alll an easy task.. i have sen her compromising and sacrificing in evry sphere of her life without a single tear rolling down her cheeks...to keep us happy she is ready to give up evry hapynes she deserves...i feel my day is incomplete if i dont see her a day ...but yes it is true she is the one who faces evry ones mood...isn't it friends?? whenever we are angry or sad we shout on our mom ...if we are disapointed on some one else we spit it on her but she hardly says anything...whatever i am or whatever youa re is more because of your mom...because she understands us more than anyone in this world because she has beared the pain of keeping us 9 months in our womb...at times what we want our mom stops us from doing that ...we get iritatd on her and say smthng which she doesnt deserve but we forget to apologize to her..the values,the love,the teachings what we are able to give others is just because of iur mom... we are ready to spit out our mood on us but she never does that...she adjusts herself with the situation...when we cry our mom is there to give us her lap but we never understand her silent tears...thats the difference between being a mother and a child...i dont know how will i be as a mother but i wish i can give atleast 10% to my child of what she has given me...maybe i cant tell these things on her face but i will always stay thankful to her for what i am today so yes truly mother is a 24/7 ...but not a THING...A FRIEND,PHILOSOPHER AND A GUIDE...LOVE U MA ALWAYS...:)

That's why I'm afraid to be a mother someday. OF COURSE, that's just a joke. Doing even what we consider arduous tasks for people we truly love won't feel like it at all. That's my belief. If you do it on a daily basis, wow I can only imagine your determination. I can call you SUPERWOMAN. Hope all moms out there were like you. But, don't forget to unwind sometimes. One suggestion is to assign some task to your kids - it depends on their age. How old are they by the way? Why not let one wash the dishes? XD

Hi friend, I am a father, but I can understand the devotion of mother towards her kids and her family, and her full hearted support and love for them. Yes i agree that mother is 24X7 commitment towards her children.

I don't have a answer to this as iam a Male , but Don't you think Good Motherhood is what drives you all time and Makes you Live your life happily !! Caring for the ones they love and living a life for them !! What an envious job !! Fathers too can't come near it even though they too take care of their kids well and share responsibility . A Father's love is towards his Family and a Mother's Love is towards it's members . That's what makes a happy Family !! Be proud of what you do !!

I have the highest regards to the Mothers of the world.. it's really true that's its a 24/7 job.. with no overtime pays..oftentimes underpaid and under-appreciated ... no promotion possible... double work load with additional child..Great Mothers does this and manages to do the chores and work... and turns into a good wife to an expectant husband... this post commends all the great Moms in the world... My hats off you!
