I have a lot of friends in my similar situation, I thought this would be something for all of us. I don't care about others opinions but a lot of these are pretty awesome to help me get through my day.

When you are a mother, you are never really alone in your thoughts. A mother always has to think twice, once for herself and once for her child.

~ Sophia Loren

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

Every child is innocent and every child should be given a proper childhood which would result in having a fighting chance in life. Not having proper parenting and coaching guidance in their corner they only stand to hurt and be hurt and overall be knocked out very early in life. A child's hardest thing to learn in life is learning good manners, strong values, respect and a good attitude without seeing any. Kids learn by example, its natural, they just do. Kids will automatically do what they are taught, but teaching doesn't come through words alone. 'Do as I say, not as I do' doesn't mean a thing. They watch how adults around them act and they learn to act that way as well. Kids repeat everything they hear or see to someone somewhere, everything they shouldn't repeat even if told not to they will repeat sooner or later to someone somewhere and telling them not to repeat what they seen or heard only teaches them to lie so through their words and actions to someone somewhere their good manners, strong values, respect and good attitude will surface just as any other positive or negative examples will and hopefully for their sake they learn from positive adult examples and if not they will be facing the hardest thing ever.....LIFE, and life without those qualities will be a long lonely life of hell with much sorrow and voids to fill resulting in many hardships.

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love.

The heart of a mother is a deep abyss at the bottom of which you will always find forgiveness.

~ Honore' de Balzac

Many working mothers feel guilty about not being at home. And when they are there, they wish it could be perfect. This pressure to make every minute happy puts working parents in a bind when it comes to setting limits and modifying behavior.

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.

Mothers - especially single mothers - are heroic in their efforts to raise our nation's children, but men must also take responsibility for their children and recognize the impact they have on their families' well-being.

Good mothers know that their relationship with each of their children is like a movable feast, constantly changing and evolving.
