It shouldn't be a duty,it should be your maternal instinct. You love them, you protect them and be willing to give your life for them. You also have to make sacrifices, even if that makes you unhappy and if you can't do all these things then there is something seriously wrong!

As a mother you are to protect, nurture and care for the child. As a parent it is both of your jobs to insure that your child to raise the with ethics, wisdom to make the correct chose in life. From infants to school a parent must teach the child the basics of life. From how to walk, get along with others to love, colors, shapes ect. Once there are in school they will lean things from others that you may not want them to know so all the early lesson that you teach as a parent is really important in those early years. The mother and the fathers duties are exactly the same. There is nothing that a mother can do that a father can't, and vice verse.

Personally I think a mothers duty is to be a great leader and role model to their children. Within these two categories there are the subcategories such as protection, educational growth, spiritual growth, self-esteem growth, and teaching them about the world and accepting that all people are not the same. One of the most important duties is teaching your child how to be himself regardless of how others feel he should be.

To be there for the child, emotionally, physically, to provide for the child, feed him, clothe him, love him unconditionally, discipline, teach him the good and the bad, protect from any kind of harm, everything really. He is a small individual that needs to develop his own character and form himself into a healthy adult that fits into the society. Mother's duty never stops. Just because one day they'll turn 18, your job is never done. They'll always need you, and your advice.

love and care for them, but as a mother of 4 boys, always remember no matter how hard you try a daughter is a daughter for all of your life, a son is a son til he finds a wife, and I think I was to soft and caring and protective of my boys as I spend a lot of time on my own now, have been forgotton on my birthday(yes true) yet the girls mothers have lovely prezzies and loads of visits. I do get lots of phone calls but I wish I had not cared so much now and it would not hurt so much now. Hubby says don't worry about it but I wish they popped in for a brew now and again. I am not an interfering person and treat all the girls with love and respect, but it is not repaid.

Too bad kids don't come with manuals. It is common sense for them to take care and love them. If you love them more than yourself the other things will fall into place. Its when you are more focused on yourself that things start going wrong. Not everyone is born of goodly parents...but just remember, you may not can change the past, but you can learn from it and change the future. I'm not saying parents have got to be perfect, we all make mistakes, but as long as they are looking out for the best interest of the child, they'll get through it.

I'm sorry, they don't give you enough room here to list all the duties. I would say most importantly:
To Love
To Protect
To Nurture
To Love
To Accept
To Teach
To Love

I've never thought of normal parenting and looking after my children's emotional and health requirements as duties.
It's called maternal instinct to love and protect.
