Mothers are the people who love us for no good reason. And those of us who are mothers know it’s the most exquisite love of all.
We’re all a big hippie family so I got five sisters and a bunch of different mothers. Not really, but my sisters’ mothers are all good friends with my mother. We’re a big family, 25 people.
Women are so many things. We’re sisters, mothers, wives. There are so many things we encompass.
If there were no schools to take the children away from home part of the time, the insane asylums would be filled with mothers.
Educated mothers are 50 percent more likely to immunize their children than mothers with no schooling.
We must all work together if we’re going to solve the nation’s maternal health crisis, and Democrats and Republicans agree that helping ensure mothers and babies are healthy and whole keeps our families strong and helps our communities thrive.
I believe that always, or almost always, in all childhoods and in all the lives that follow them, the mother represents madness. Our mothers always remain the strangest, craziest people we’ve ever met.
Revenge by young men is considered gain, even at the cost of their own lives, but old men who stay at home in times of war, and mothers who have sons to lose, know better.
I’d make a good friend, not mother. I’m too selfish. I think a lot of mothers are selfish and they end up having children, but I don’t want to put some small tiny person through that.
I didn’t know my mother had it. I think a lot of women don’t know their mothers had it; that’s the sad thing about depression. You know, you don’t function anymore. You shut down. You feel like you are in a void.
A mother’s got to be there to raise the children. That’s all there is to it. I feel badly for those mothers who work hard, and can’t do it all the time.
If birth matters, midwives matter. In Europe, there are hospitals where the cesarean rate is less than 10%, and you’ll find midwives in these hospitals, you’ll see a lot less re-admissions with infections and complications, and you’ll see a lot less injury to mothers.
Being mothers, we try to stay home as much as possible and attend to the children.
No one ever died from sleeping in an unmade bed. I have known mothers who remake the bed after their children do it because there is wrinkle in the spread or the blanket is on crooked. This is sick.
When Liv had Milo, that’s when it really came full circle to me. I am so proud of her. We are both single mothers but in different eras.
I don’t think about the reader when I’m writing, but I do when I’m editing, of course. For instance, I self-consciously didn’t want to do anything to increase the divide between mothers and nonmothers – I think that divide is so horrible and destructive and unnecessary.
The more people have studied different methods of bringing up children the more they have come to the conclusion that what good mothers and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is the best after all.
I think older women’s voices are the most hated voices in the world – whether it’s because people are reminded of their mothers or what, I don’t know.
Every hour that goes by with family separation policies in effect is another hour that mothers weep thinking of their children, another hour that kids are fearfully wondering where their parents have been taken, another hour that trauma deepens.
Real Texans believe in looking out for each other. We believe in honoring our mothers and fathers and keeping our smallest residents – our children – healthy.
I think women’s relationships with other women are very complicated and depend on their relationships with their mothers. Mine was fraught with problems. So I didn’t necessarily trust women for a long time.
When I was a young boy, very young boy, mothers didn’t work. Women were home, they took care of the house, they washed the dishes and took care of the children. That’s what they did, and that’s what my mother did.
Motherhood may be a ‘killer’ when it comes to becoming a Master of the Universe, but among middle-class mothers, even after that touch of baby’s lips to bosom, a big and growing number find themselves able – and often required – to bring home the family bacon.
I’m one of those hovering mothers and I know it’s really important to have an independent child, so I’m trying to back off, but it’s hard. I love him so much, and he’s so funny and cute to me.
I have two children myself. I always laugh; they have you playing mothers pretty early, us women. You look at the television, the mothers get younger and younger, and the children get older and older, and you start to wonder when these people had these children. Were they breeding when they were 12?
I think that the story of mothers and daughters is so universal.
I guess that from the moment we are fed by our mothers, without even knowing it, we are caught in a net that brings us comfort, something we always feel when a special woman cooks for us. It is something unique and personal – it is something we want to keep for ourselves.
Mothers and daughters have that rivalry thing.
You can make children believe whatever you want, and the children of today are the soldiers and mothers of tomorrow.
Mother’s Day celebrates a huge lie about the value of women: that mothers are superior beings, that they have done more with their lives and chosen a more difficult path.
I wanted to write about women and their work, and about valuing the work we, as women, choose to do. Too many women I knew disparaged their work. Many working mothers thought they ought to be home with their children instead, so they carried around too much guilt to enjoy much job satisfaction.
I’m no longer just a candidate. I’m the President. I know what it means to send young Americans into battle, for I have held in my arms the mothers and fathers of those who didn’t return. I’ve shared the pain of families who’ve lost their homes, and the frustration of workers who’ve lost their jobs.
I see lots of differences between Australians and Americans – but as mothers, I think we’re pretty much alike!
Babies born to women who are infected with hep B – and mothers can carry the virus without their knowledge – will almost certainly be infected if they are not vaccinated within twelve hours of birth.
Many mothers and daughters are as close as any two people can be, but closeness always carries with it the need – indeed, the desire – to consider how your actions will affect the other person, and this can make you feel that you are no longer in control of your own life.
When I see kids standing next to their mothers at book signings, clutching a copy of ‘Forever,’ I know what’s coming. They’ll say to me, ‘How old do I have to be to read this?’ hoping I’ll give them permission. But I can’t do that.
I believe that all women should have children. I think women are made to have children and to be mothers. I also think women have to have an identity outside the home.
I feel like I’m one of the many working mothers. And I only have one child. I know working mums who have three or four. It’s definitely a challenge but it’s a wonderful challenge to be able to do both.
Bro Court’ is set in an engineering college hostel. It is a court where all the grievances of hostel inmates, brothers from other mothers, are addressed and justice is assured.
Women often have a fraught relationship with their mothers, even though that’s the most important relationship in their lives.
To all those mothers and fathers who are struggling with teen-agers, I say, just be patient: even though it looks like you can’t do anything right for a number of years, parents become popular again when kids reach 20.
When I started years back, there was a lot of apprehension to don a mother’s role. People feared that once you play a mother, you will get similar roles from next time too. But look at actresses like Kareena Kapoor or Malaika Arora. They look so hot in real life despite being mothers.
I have twins and luckily when I first looked at them I felt, I am really into you. I am going to find it easy to love you. But there are mothers out there who do not make that connection. It is a taboo subject but it is not exotic. It is a nightmare.
Guys don’t like women telling them what to do. It reminds them of their mothers, or something like that.
For American families, Universal pre-K is an essential piece of the puzzle that not only allows their kids to get a good start, but it also allows mothers to remain on the job earning a paycheck and helping our economy grow.
Sexism is not the fault of women – kill your fathers, not your mothers.
High respect goes out to our mothers, our single mothers. This is why today the real community uplifts femininity and holds womanhood above, not equal to, masculinity.
We have ambitions, we go on with our lives. We get married and have families. But I was interested to know what happens to those girls who become mothers and grandmothers. They sacrificed their self at a time when they were young and healthy.
Before I was a mother, when I played characters that were mothers, I used my imagination, of course.
I think mothers get a raw deal in American culture, so I’ve been defending them. I have three daughters, and I know that as they become mothers, they got a lot more gentle towards me!
Neither man nor woman is perfect or complete without the other. Thus, no marriage or family, no ward or stake is likely to reach its full potential until husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, men and women work together in unity of purpose, respecting and relying upon each other’s strengths.
