As a mom I know that raising children is the hardest job there is.

Fortunately when you're a mom the responsibility of caring for your child can keep you going.

I became a mom at 37 and having a child has been an emancipation for me.

When you are getting ready to become a mom being in love with someone just isn't enough. You need to think about whether he would be a good parent and raise your children with similar beliefs.

Having a child makes you realize the importance of life - narcissism goes out the window. Heaven on earth is looking at my little boy. The minute he was born I knew if I never did anything other than being a mom I'd be fine.

Always it gave me a pang that my children had no lawful claim to a name.

Why do grandparents and grandchildren get along so well? The mother.

I may be the only mother in America who knows exactly what their child is up to all the time.

When motherhood becomes the fruit of a deep yearning not the result of ignorance or accident its children will become the foundation of a new race.

Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children you're thinking about working.
