Mother is a verb. It's something you do. Not just who you are.

About This Quote

Being a mother is not an identity that belongs to the woman who bears the child. It’s a verb that encompasses love, care, and responsibility. Mother is not something you do; it’s who you are. Its definition is not fixed, either. It can change as you age, as your family grows, as your children become more independent, and as you begin to see yourself differently than you did when you were younger.
