Any woman can be a mom
but to become a mother is much more than giving birth to a child as great responsibility
follows after childbirth. Motherhood brings meaning to a woman’s life as it is
a 7 days a week 24 hour job, a
challenging lifetime occupation with no pay but in return full of overflowing
consolation and rewards. Mind maturity and readiness to invest most of your
time for your family is important in preparation to become a mother.
A mom is the family’s
ultimate caregiver who supports and promotes the physical, emotional, social
and intellectual growth and stability of her child from infancy to adulthood.
Below are the reasons
why I called Mom a Jane of all trade.
Educator. The first and
ever best teacher of a child is her mom. Good manners and proper behavior are
first taught at home. Likewise, it is mostly the mother who is patiently
teaches a child to learn how to count, read, write and identify objects and
colors in preparation for preschool.
Cook and nutritionist.
Mom is the one who prepares good and healthy food for the family.
The best house help.
Spending the entire week wearing sweats, early to rise in the morning and up
each night until 10pm or so dusting, vacuuming or sweeping, washing clothes,
ironing, changing diapers, shopping for food, cooking and feeding the kids, walking around the house with unending task of
picking up the same things and clutter over and over.
Accountant. She is the
usual financial planner, doing the family budget and run errands in paying the
utility bills.
She is the counselor,
referee and peacemaker when kids fight, teaching discipline and empathy.
Wife. The woman in the house is not only a mother
to her kids but also a loving wife to her husband.
Trouble shooter.
When some things go wrong around the house like leaking faucets or busted
lights, a mom suddenly becomes a plumber or a technician.
What it takes to be a
mom is not an easy task to handle. Multi-tasking, discovering new abilities to
make both ends meet. Resting means
folding those piled up laundry on the couch, while helping the kids do their
homework.
What is more amazing
about a mom is her selflessness and understanding. Thinking of her kid’s
welfare and needs before anything else, always prioritizing their kids needs
met before her own. The unconditional love of a mother to her child is
immeasurable, nurturing and guiding her children to become a good members of
the society with values, decent character and personality.
