Mothers know best...

Agree or not? For a newbie mom like me, i came to realized that mothers seem to really care 100% to family members. My mom gave her full devotion to us. She sacrificed so many things for us including her career. Whenever i feel sad, sick or needing someone to talk to, my mom always finds a way to give her best and the very best advise and care for me. I learned a lot from her teachings and most important of it is shown through a lot of actions accompanied by love.

Hi, I also do believe that my mother is the best mom for me. She cares alot of our family and she does everything for us and for our family. When I was young, I don't really know the meaning of good mother. But now, I am also a mother of my son and only I knew that being a good mother is not easy. Full of responsibility and lot of tasks she need to do at home. Apart from being a good mother, I also have to be a good wife for my husband. My son just reach his toddler stage and I have plenty of time to spent with him. I want him to know how much I love him and I am trying my best to give him the best forever.

Hello shia88. Good to read your post here in mylot. Same here, i am also taking care of my family. As to being a mom is not an easy task. All the love, care and sacrifice for our immediate love ones should be given proper attention almost every single day from the time we became moms. Goodluck to you and stay happy.

Mother of my daughter, a.k.a. my wife, doesn't know best at all. I end up doing most of the traditional "mum" roles. My own mother wasn't that great either. I guess it's a matter of luck!

Hi! Thank you for being honest with the post. I'm proud of you petersum for taking charge. I think some mothers wants to play a different role in their lives as a mom outside the comfort of their homes. One things for sure they cannot change the reality moms will be moms forever.

I heartily agree that mother knows best. After all, she has looked after her children all their lives. She made the choices to set them on their way. If she didn't know best, how could her children achieve the success that they do?

Yes sender621 our success makes our mothers proud and joyful. The achievements we have in life is because of her teachings and lessons shared to family members. We should thank our moms everyday.

It's wonderful if you have a mother who cares for you and is someone you can go to when you're sick or down. But that doesn't mean she always knows best. Mothers are just people and there are areas of life where their advice isn't always the best. They may not know much about it or they may be buried in superstitious beliefs. And many mothers just aren't meant to be mothers at all. They're not that interested in their children, and even if they take good care of them, they're not the kind of mother you'd ever go to with your problems. Just because a woman is capable of bearing children, she isn't automatically a good mother and she doesn't automatically know what's best for her children.

Yes, I agree with you mother knows best. My mom was a career woman but she managed to take care of the family from preparing food, clothes and even teaching us lesson in school when we we're young. Up to this date that I have a family she guides and gives me pointers how to deal with my own family. She loves us unconditionally.
