motherhood :) said to be the most pious feeling on this earth. it is the relation where a lady puts in her whole life in loving, caring and bringing up her child.child is the one who changes her whole life n she is the one who makes the child.the approach, the attitude,love all child gets from his mother. mother can mean and do a lot.so what kind of mother wud you like to be..and one quality or even more which you certainly will like to have in your child.. to me it wud be practicality which i wud like to teach my child for sure as the real life is very different from reel life..n many more offcourse. how about you?

Hello sumatix, I would like to spend all my life, time, money, love, care and myself to my kids. Everything for my kids. I would like to educate them well, with the perfect mannerism and dignity. At the same time, I would like to inhibit in them the values that are very important for a person. Kindness, love, honesty and there are so many things like that, which all will be taught to my kids right from the beginning. I will bring them up to be the best human beings. Of course I want my kids to be successful too, but at the same time, i don't want them to deviate from the values which are really important for one's life.

LOL! there's going to be a lot of time for me to have kids. :D Anyways, the best way to imbibe these things into your kids is, teach them things when they are young. What they learn when they are young are the things that will remain throughout their life! You got to be sweet only when they are good at the young age and you got to be strict at things if they are wrong. That is the best way to bring up kids. You need to read to them some ethical stories and ethical books. Good books and things like that. All these will certainly guide them in the right path.

Hi sumatix! I am a mother of a 14-year old and 8-year old girls and I admit it is quite tough but very rewarding role too! I love every minute of it. Your question really made me think because I never really thought what kind of mother I am to my daughters. To be honest, I am far from being a perfect mom but I tried to be there for my girls most of the time. I only work part-time because I want to be there with my daughters guiding them in their studies, taking care of them and see to it that they eat properly and be there during their school activities cheering them when they play and encouraging them when they need to perform on stage. I just want to be a simple, caring, and loving mother to my daughters. I am just human and sometimes I lost my temper but I learned to be more patient with them. Being a mother is very rewarding and I will never replace it for anything in the world. I made a choice 15 years ago, that I'd rather be a simple mom than to be at the top of my career. My career took a backseat but I have no regrets because for me, what makes me happy most is good relationship with my family, my husband and my daughters. I found genuine happiness being a mother of my two daughters and I am doing my best to make them feel loved and cared and to mold them into what God wanted them to be. I have a big responsibility as a mother, and that is to make them know and feel how much God loves them and to mold them as faithful Christians and to be able to touch other people's lives and make a difference. I want them to know their purpose in life and to know what matter's most. I am not in the best position to tell you exactly what kind of mother I am, my daughters can answer this for me but for me, I found it a great privilege being their mom because they gave meaning to my life, the inspire me, they are the source of my happiness and most of all they give me endless source of energy. With just a big hug and butterfly kisses made all my troubles and tiredness melt away. They are indeed priceless treasures. To all the moms in this world, it is just right to celebrate motherhood!

That's a good question! I never really thought about what kind of mother I am to my 7 year old daughter, but I really do try to do the best I can for her. It's hard work though, as my ex-husband isn't around, so it's just us on our own. I try hard to spend time with her and I enjoy being with her, but I also work hard to teach her the right things, the right manners, healthy life choices and sensible food habits. I'm so very proud of my little girl for her intelligence, her inquisitiveness, her natural curiosity and her funny little sense of humor. I really hope I can be a good enough mother who can help her become a wonderful adult one day :)

I think the best relationship between mother and children should be "friendship". Under friendship, mother and children can communicate with less barriers. In this way, more growing problems of chidren can be solved more easily.

I am the mother of three children and they are my world. I do everything for them and spend all day with them. I come second when it comes to my kids. I hope and pray I am doing a good job with them. They are polite, loving and very smart.

I am a mother who devote my time for my family especially to my children.They are always my first priority in life. I love my children so much.I always give what they want even if myself had nothing.I teach them to be responsible and loving to each other and most of all respect the elders.I may seem to be the disciplinarian to them, but i explain to them why i am doing this to them because if ever i would not be here they can stand up on their own or be responsible in their life.
