Do u think being a MUM is THE hardest thing?? Or is it just me??

Answer 1

If you can:
sing lullabies in soft melodic tones to the babe in your arms while writing this weeks shopping list and cooking dinner at the same time...
survive on shortened sleep for years while remaining positive, supportive and loving to your family as you struggle to remember your true identity of self..
give your unconditional love, wisdom, time and nurturing to another human being knowing fully that the purpose of this love, wisdom, time and nurturing is to equip them with the skills they need to one day pack their bags and leave with a quick smile and a "See ya!"
listen to the whimpers, cries, and screams of your infant as they are tortured by an illlness that only a generation ago would have meant certain death while softly cooing to your child and yourself about how everything will be alright and secretly hope that the doctors have got it all right.
help a 12 year old grasp the concept of algebra, the intricacies of human reationships, the right answers to all the questions life will throw their way while wondering what idiot first thought up the idea of a + b = and why the heck some things never change no matter how much they should
grasp the hand of your five year old and lead them boldly through the gates of an institution which is full of screaming children, most of whom are larger, faster and smarter than your child and smile ever so sweetly while reassuring the five year old they are a big kid now and will do just fine as you beat yourself up silently for being foolish enough to think that this thing called school was a good idea.
be a goddess to all those around you while struggling with your own human frailties and still manage to get your mascara on your eyelashes while breatfeeding
then...
Being a Mum is piece of cake....

Answer 2

I think being a mom is the hardest thing you'll ever do. They look up to you and you are their role model. What they see you do and say is what they learn. It's not always easy being a mom but if you do your best and are there to listen and love your child it's all worth it. Keep an open mind also we can learn from out kids to. My kids and I are always learning and doing things together. Also keep it fun play, read, sing, have picnic's in the yard and see what knew things you can find there. This may sound corny but there is no easy way to be a parent. You just take it one day at a time.

Answer 3

Honey it is THE HARDEST thing I have ever done in my life and your's as well I imagine by your question. That's why I say stand up with me and say I AM THE GREATEST.... not many people can do it, as we know there are abandonned children, beaten children and there is such thing as a dead beat mom.
Sometimes the little buggers seem ungrateful and don't realize how hard we strive to provide for them, but i promise you eventually they do. Now if you are a single mom like i was, you can take that hard work and times it by a million, but again, its a great accomplishment and mistakes are allowed. Take it on day at a time, sit back watch them grow and smile.

Answer 4

There is no denying that being a mother is 'hard'. All mothers do have their own share of difficulties in raising their children, running a family and all sorts of other responsiblities. You are not alone when your feel like being a mother is 'the hardest thing in the world'. I believe that we all come to that point (one way or the other) when fulfilling our duties or going about our responsiblities, take the best from us and leave us tired, dry and depressed at the end of the day.

Other moms may not agree with what I have mentioned earlier- theirs could be a seemingly 'picture-perfect' home where going about with their duties as a mother. They may not conclude that 'being a mum is the hardest thing in the wolrd'. Well, good for them.

But in reality, all mothers like us feel the ups and downs of our God-given calling. It is perfectly normal for us to feel extremely good one day and feel extremely bad some other days. We are given a task that would require us to raise responsible children; a privilege to nurture the very heart of our families; that God-given capability to love and feel the hurts and other emotions of our family memebers.

What is worth reminding ourselves is the fact that if we fulfill our duties as a loving, nurturing and responsible mother, God will justly reward us for all the hard labour that we've done for our children.

Life may not be perfect, but we can enjoy and relish every moment there is with our children. As for ourselves, we have to be proud for every loving task that we do; knowing that we give our best.

Uhh, at time it can be VERY difficult!!! I am at a point right now where I feel like I have failed as a mother both of my kids are going through rough stages, I have an 8 year old and a 2 year old! They often fight and don't listen to me. My 2 year old talks back and my eight year old just yells random **** like he has tourettes or something...lol! I think for me the most difficult part is the fact that I am a VERY young mother!!! (i'm 21) But you know motherhood is also very rewarding. I mean you look at these little guys and think wow, I made that! And then to see your child smile....no other feeling in the world could compare!!!

Answer 6

Being a mother is the HARDEST job in the world. You are who your children see everyday. You are teaching 24/7,which is why people should really think before having a baby. But also,it is the most rewarding job a mother can have,especially when your children grow up to be contributors to this world we live in. It would be nice if they came with a manual though. (smile)

Answer 7

I don't know about the hardest, but I do know that it is the greatest and most fulfilling thing you could ever do. And I'm serious. Many great men have said that they owe everything to their mothers. It takes the patience of Job, the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Samson, the love of Christ, and so much more to be a mom! It's not just you..

Answer 8

It is the hardest thing. But think about it - nothing that is worth anything is ever easy. So, if being a mom is so difficult, it is because the results are worth so much.

Answer 9

It is very hard to be a mom. Everything you do affects a baby. Your world revolves around your kids. Depending how well of a mom you are as to how good your child will turn out. That's an important factor in child raising. I'm sure your a great mom, other wise you wouldn't have asked this question. Every mom wants to be the best she can. It is hard, very hard.

Answer 10

No its not just you. It is the absolute hardest job in the world. Also, if you think as they get older it gets easier (as I thought it would) your wrong!!! Take it from a mother of a 14,15,16,17,22 year old. It never gets easier.
