How can one be a Good Mother?

If the marriage is unhelathy for the child then the best thing to do is to end it. It is much better for children to grow up in a loving home with one parent that in a home with two parents who are arguing and very unhappy. I just don't think it is ever fair to stay together for the sake of the children. while I understand many married couples have good intentions when doing this, in the long run they are doing more harm than good to the children in the house.

there are many mothers in the world that is a good mother. A good mother realizes that every child is not the same. She understands that children are not just an extension of or born to be a helper but each child is an individual that have their own rights. A good mother helps their child set out on their own path. Allowing the child to follow that path, regardless of the mother desires. A good mother is the one that is willing to listen, and listen, and listen

children are better off in a household where there is one parent who is happy and content, and gives them this stable, happy environment than they would be in the atmosphere of an unhappy or abusive relationship. children aren't ignorant of the relationships of the adults around them. if they argue a lot. the child suffers. if one or the other abuses the other, the child suffers. if one of them cries a lot, the child suffers. taking them out of this environment gives them a happier and healthier childhood, and means they don't grow up thinking it's okay for adults to be abusive to each other.

Being a mother is a little challenging sometimes, be a positive and more role model and example that your children can look up to,appreciate and honor.Listen to your children,but listen effectively with caring ears so that you will be able to give quality advice and help them in negative circumstances.But keep your cool and try to stay patient.Try this approach to other problems.Stay calm,explain the practical reasons not to do something, and then why you don't want them to do something.

Your children are lucky to have you as a mom, because no one else could do it the same way as you. You are special being you! you are good enough being yourself. Until you get that, all of your parenting will be hard and will suffer. If you believe that you are not good enough, your children will pick up on that thought and believe they are not good either. So, you have to believe yourself right now.

being a mother is depend on mother to care with their childrens..being a mother just show your support and care to the children even there's nothing benefits for them. if she want looking into the benefits just for her children,she must find a good work for her children to give their support/financial..or she must do meet/ask her husband/ex about the financial of their children that's what is the best idea both of them..

I agree with you. I am determined to keep our family strong as well as a firm family bond. To set and show the example for how my children will hopefully follow and set it for their own children. I wish for the families to become a stronger more committed family.

Hi, Being a good mother and a good wife, is not an easy task. We as a woman...after got married, we have lot of responsibility. Taking care of our family,do housechores,cooking,and also be a good wife for our husband. All this are our duties as a wife. Before our child is arrived, we can have more free time. Burden is not that much and just need to be a good wife for our husband and respect our in-laws. However,when our child has arrived, we will move to motherhood lifestyle. It is totally another new life to go and lot of things need to learn. From my experience, as a mother of one boy, I always have to be a good example for my son. I have to be patience in handling him,educate him well and give him the best. I have to trained him...started from potty training, and train him to be an useful person in future. All these duties are not easy,but it is life and we have to go through it.

To be a good mom, she must teach her child how to pray. Mother's should teach them to pray for forgiveness and blessings. Mothers who teach their children about God are preparing them for the difficulty that they will some day face. A child with a right values will more likely become a good mother or father themselves and they will teach their own children in return.

There are no rights and wrongs when it comes to honest and true parenting. None of come with manuals so we have to give it the best we know how. As for a mother wanting a divorce, what good is it when the father still lives in the home yet never bonds with the children. Or a home with an abusive parent no less. Even my priest says sometimes thing just do not work out and we as humans must do all in our power to make our children striving healthy adults as the church no longer frowns on divorce these days. So my discussion is bases on the fact that sometimes to be with one healthy happy parent the in a bad dysfunctional home.

We have our own concept on what a good mother should be. Yes, we sometimes wonder on how could a mother consider herself as a good one when she decides to end the marriage and claim that she's doing it for the benefit of the kids; however, there are also cases where a husband and wife living apart is better off than them raising together the kids in a hostile environment. I believe that NO sane mother would deliberately break her family apart just for her own selfish reasons. And I also think that in the list of possible solutions, annulment or divorce would be on the bottom part of that list. This is the hardest and most painful decision a mother would undergo, for she had to consider her children's welfare (imagine raising your kids alone, financially and emotionally!) and risk their opinion of her "breaking the family apart" or "chasing their father out," which eventually leads to the children hating/blaming her for the crumbling of their family. Personally, I would rather see my mother and father happy, even if it entails them living apart, than having a "family" that's dysfunctional. Whew!
