You'll never know until you're there.

I'm always annoyed on my mother's rant way back in my single days. She's always my enemy. I was so careless on my actions before. But now that I am a mother, being a mother is really not an easy role. You'll always have to look after your daughter and put them first before you. And how it felt when something bad happen to your daughter is twice painful to you.
Now I appreciate my mother. I appreciate all the responsible mothers in the world!

I am waiting for the day that my 19 year old daughter will say she knows and appreciates everything I did as a single mom for her and her brother. Right now they are still in that entitlement stage and think they know more than me. It drives me nuts and makes me sad.

Hello again. I see that you are new here in myLot. Welcome. I hope you'll enjoy it here as I am. :)
You are right in what you said that you'll never know until you're there. It is so true not just in terms of motherhood. Being a mother is so hard. As a mother of three, my priorities are my kids now unlike. We don't want them to be in a bad situation thats why we are always so worried about them.

That is correct girl that becoming a mother yourself makes you realized how difficult
it it was before your mother scolded you of your wrong doings,yet now that you are already a mother,you could now realized and understands the feelings of your great mother.There is a saying the goes,"If you got married and bear children,you have already paid up your parents". This saying is address to all whether you are a man or woman--his means the the burdens of our upbringing given to us by our parents is now our own burden to upbringing our own children.I love my mother,too.

I absolutely agree with you. I am not a mother yet, but I sometimes will argue with my parents from time to time. I understood that they want the best for me, and I just won't see it at the moment. I wish that I can be that patient with them, and think from their standing point. Way to go, you are good mother if you already realize it.

Yes, we will not know how it is to be a mother unless we reach that stage also.
Our mother would really irritate us with their rants when we were just teenagers. They have to do it, lest we forget what they like us to be - good persons.
And now that we are mothers, it's our turn to rant to our daughters and sons.
Though now that our daughter is already a lady, i seldom rant anymore. I know that she is already old enough to know what is wrong and what is right. I have my trust in her.

That is why as a daughter i have a huge respect for my mother more than my dad. I love her even though she's not perfect.

Well on the contrary, you should have the same level of respect to both of your parents. They are your parents, each of them has different responsibilities to give to you.

I can relate to what you said. Now I realize how much sacrifice my mom had done for me. I am trying to be at least half as good as a mother as she is.
