I am a mother and mothers don’t have the luxury of falling apart in front of their children, even when they are afraid, even when their children are adults.

About This Quote

Mothers often face a lot of struggles as they raise their children, especially as the children grow up and have their own lives. However, parents have to focus on how to raise their children and not what they are going through themselves. Kids today have a very short attention span, so a mother has to be able to move on from a problem she is having and come back with a solution without losing her cool. It’s hard for mothers to do this, but it’s something that she must learn from experience.

As a mother, you always want what is best for your child. You want the best education possible, the best job opportunities for your child, and you want your child to be happy and successful. So many times we see examples of mothers who are unable to move on from a problem or issue that they are having, or we see mothers who are unable to function because of the stresses that they face in life.
