A free race cannot be born of slave mothers.
We found that when people put this issue on the table, it turns out that men acknowledge the issue, and employers and employees can work out solutions just as working mothers do.
Mexico is a very mom-centered culture. You’ll find stores open on Father’s Day, but never on Mother’s Day. For us, mothers are very important.
I fight to prioritize black mothers and black children because we deserve to live in a world where our healing is centered and our lives are treated with dignity, respect, and care.
I think the Mama people remember is from ‘Mama’s Family.’ She really turned into a pretty cool character. The sketches from the ‘Burnett’ show, if people are old enough to remember, were written by writers who all hated their mothers.
In Japan, mothers insist on achievement and accomplishment as a sign of love and respect. Thus to fail places children in a highly shamed situation.
Mothers have always held such symbolic weight in determining a person’s worth. Your mother tongue, your motherland, your mother’s values – these things can qualify or disqualify you from attaining myriad American dreams: love, fluency, citizenship, legitimacy, acceptance, success, freedom.
Now that I look back, all the things that I was teased about, became game changers and my strengths. That’s what we have to learn as mothers. We push our children so much to be perfect, but it’s their imperfections that make them unique.
For older actresses, the story is still the same. They are either subservient wives taking care of their husbands – like that typical age-old character of a woman, who serves her husband a hot cup of tea as soon as he comes home; or they are mothers dependent on their sons.
I think a mother needs to be with mothers. I don’t know what they talk about.
I’m sure mothers are important across every culture, but particularly in Korean society, the role of the mother is of great importance.

Mother’s Day is a welcome event in partisan times. Nearly everyone agrees that we should show mothers gratitude.
My children are English, and both of their mothers were English.
When I was younger, I always saw my friends with their mothers and fathers and felt a little jealous of them for having a father close by.
Being a good mother is really so hard and so important, and it’s this thing that all people long for. Think of all the soldiers who cry out for their mothers on the battlefield as they die. It’s a primal relationship.
My father was a great example of a strong and good man and Christian man, and my mother taught all my six sisters how to be young ladies and mothers and how to take care of your family. And so I think they were – they still are – great examples for all of us to their kids and to the world, too.
There are proven health benefits for both babies and mothers who breastfeed, and it’s unfortunate that it still carries an unfair stigma in our society.
Postpartum depression is a very real and very serious problem for many mothers. It can happen to a first time mom or a veteran mother. It can occur a few days… or a few months after childbirth.
Mothers, stay close to your daughters. Earn and deserve their love and respect. Be united with their father in the rearing of your children. Do nothing in your life to cause your daughters to stumble because of your example.
My earliest memory was watching my mother do her makeup. She was obsessed with beauty and collected makeup and experimented with it. I think it’s a lot of young men and women’s experiences, growing up: watching the ritual of what their mothers would do.
Dogs have such short life spans, it’s like a concentrated version of a human life. When they get older, they become much more like our mothers. They wait for us, watch out for us, are completely fascinated by everything we do.
I think with motherhood and child-rearing in general, everyone’s going to tell you how to do it and why. I’ve always said to other mothers and women when they’ve asked me, that you have to find your own way and find out what works for your family, at all costs.
Kids bring their mothers and grandmothers to our concerts. You don’t see that with a lot of artists today.
My father himself was a human geneticist who was recognized for demonstrating that older mothers tend to get more Down syndrome children, but he had lots of scientific interests.
Juarez had become a failed city. The mayor of Juarez lived in El Paso. Not only did he not live in his own city, he didn’t live in his own country. You had all these kids out of school who didn’t want to work because they saw their mothers toiling in jobs for hardly any cash.
We’re getting bolder with our drama and we’re allowing women to be unapologetic about their ambitions in a professional sense, and also about their vulnerability as mothers and lovers.
If you are a nurturing mother, and a good one, you can go to play groups, sit on the floor and play all the games, and have tea with the other mothers, but wouldn’t you like to think that’s not all there is? That you haven’t hung up your high heels without knowing how to walk in them?
Our Party’s policies of respecting the people and loving them and the people’s hearty loyalty of trusting and following the Party as they would do their mothers have become integrated, and thus the blood-sealed ties between them have reached a new, higher stage.
Women without children can help mothers, and we can just be all in this together.
Mothers are always sending me pictures of their daughters.
I think the biggest reason I was able to express myself and not be intimidated was by not having a mother. For example, mothers teach you manners. And I absolutely did not learn any of those rules and regulations.
I appeal to you, my friends, as mothers: are you willing to enslave your children? You stare back with horror and indignation at such questions. But why, if slavery is not wrong to those upon whom it is imposed?
For expectant mothers there’s so much to think about – and so much to prepare for. In amongst those many thoughts and all the excitement are also some concerns, not least the serious worries for many about what will happen at work.
As a child growing up in a grey-skied Yorkshire village, I would occasionally happen upon a Bollywood movie on the television. After a few minutes watching a bunch of sari-clad dancers cavorting on a Swiss mountain to tuneless music, I would switch over to some proper drama about housing estates and single mothers.
There are very few women in the Senate and very few mothers.
I went to school with a lot of kids whose fathers and mothers were part of the El Paso black history.
Cop families have guns in their houses. It’s a bigger question for mothers. When is the right time to introduce to your children the things that could hurt them? But not having the knowledge could hurt them.
The Dolphins’ is my tribute to all those selfless mothers and women that I have ever come across, including my own mother, Indira. Some 75 per cent of mothers that I have seen are like that, all of them worthy of emulation.
Making sure that mothers are educated means we can lift more people out of poverty and build a more inclusive and sustainable society.
The real religion of the world comes from women much more than from men – from mothers most of all, who carry the key of our souls in their bosoms.
At one time, there was a stereotype that your Girl Scout leader was the mother of a Brownie, but increasingly, we are having young businesswomen and professional women who are not mothers but care about children.
A lot of the actors I knew threw in the towel when they became mothers. I couldn’t do that financially, and I didn’t want to – but I was knackered all the time.
Children like their mothers especially to be standing still and watching them, even if they are sleeping. At least that’s how I felt. There’s nothing wrong with the self-interest of children; it’s just the way they are.
For working mothers, creating a work-life balance is critical, as we must ensure we do not neglect any significant part of our lives – our children, our family’s health, our own health and fitness, our marriage, and, of course, our careers.
When it comes to babies and children and being a mother, there is so much to talk about. There are products that I keep discovering – endless products! People love to read about these things. And I interview cool mothers, mums with babies, and mums with teenagers… all mums who I admire.
Some women work while they are pregnant, but not me. That was a choice I had made. That’s when I took a break. Men can work at whatever stage they are; whether they turn daddy, they still have their own thing. But women can’t afford that because by being mothers, they have to be there for their kids.
