I wish I could ask my mom directly about these questions but she has passed away long time ago… somewhere over the rainbow. Any mother out there to answer these, please…?

PS: I’m not having any children right now, although I wish I had and raised a daughter and a son…. Mother, whether you’re there or not, you’ll always-ALWAYS- be in my heart….

Well i think the biggest thing that makes you a good mom is that you KNOW your kids are totally perpared for the REAL world… They can take care of themselfs… The happiest moment cant be narrowed down… when you work with them to teach them something and they struggle with it and they finally get it… nothing warms your heart like that!!! Im sure there will be more to come… graduation… marriage… babies… first real job… first house… you know all the milestones…
I think the saddest part for me was teaching them to walk and knowing i had to let go giving them a chance to fall for them to learn…. and im sure that is going to come in bigger sizes once they get older…..
Dont worry… Im sure you will remember what your mom always did once you have children of your own… I was on the phone with my best friend who ive been friends with sence preschool… we were both dealing our children at the same time and we stopped what we were doing… and at the EXACT same time we both said you sound like your mom!
it sounds like you already have the heart for being a good mom..all it takes is love and understanding..the happiest part of me being a mom is when my children were born and they were healthy,,when they smile at you, tell you they love you, looking at them when they sleep..the saddest part is when they are sick and the only thing you can do is comfort them …you don’t need a mom to tell you how to be one you will understand when you have children yourself…i only answered this because of the last part of your question..your mom knows how much you miss her…and i wish my mom were here to because she will always be in my heart…good luck if you ever decide to become a mom…
the happiest moment for me is when my child has learned something new, like using the potty instead of his diaper! Or singing in the church choir. My saddest moment is when they are so sick that I cant do anything to help. Or when they become teenagers and forget that I brought them into this world! To be a good mother means putting your children first . Be patient and understanding. Spend quality time!!!
the happiest moment of being a mother for me, was the day each one of my beautiful little girls was brought into this big old world.some people say to be a good mother you must lavish your children with lots of love and lots of attention.I’ll pass on the advise my own mother gave to me,(I hope it will be use full) no matter how mad your child makes you. always remember they are only children never yell or loose your head nothing can be so bad that it cant be talked out.finally the last bit of advise my mother gave me was (always listen to your child,never ignore them because someday really soon they well be all grown up and won’t want to sit and talk about whats happening with their lives.I think the saddest thing for me as a mother was the day my oldest moved out and ended up living in a tent because she was to proud to ask me or her grandma for help.watching your little baby grow up and leave home is heart breaking.just remember your mother got through raising you so you’ll do just fine
,the happiest was when my son gave me his first mothers day card he had made, the saddest was when one son won all the sports day races, and the other came last. i was so delighted for one but it broke my heart for the other… one day you will have a child and your own family will begin, your mum will always watch over you..
Oh, babe, you just brought a tear to my eye.
My daughter is 19 months old and the happiest parts of being a mom are (after birth) the way her face lights up when she learns something new, or visits a favourite place- she is learning new words all the while and it is so amazing to see the look of accomplishment on her face when she finally gets that word out…her favourite is ‘No’ whilst pointing her finger for emphasis.
The saddest part for me is when she cries and I don’t understand why- I don’t like seeing her in distress. Another worrying part of motherhood is the my daughters completely random allergies- sometimes after eating something she will get hives all over her skin, or have a more extreme reaction which involves her lips swelling and blistering up- it’s not nice seeing my daughter like this. Fortunately a dose of Piriton puts her right!
The best way to be a good mother is to spend time with your children- don’t shove them infront of the telly for the sake of it, get your coats on and go for a walk to the park or to some other nice place. Be patient and try not to ignore the crying, because there won’t be any tears without a good reason. Be responsive to your children. And be honest with them about things.
EDIT: I just read through the other answers and they all made me smile- thanks for answering the question, everyone, I have learned a lot from your answers!
