Don’t get me wrong. Being a mom is no picnic. Raising the kids is the mother’s responsibility. It’s a thankless, solitary job, like sheriff or Pope.
Motherhood cannot finally be delegated. Breast-feeding may succumb to the bottle; cuddling, fondling, and paediatric visits may also be done by fathers...but when a child needs a mother to talk to, nobody else but a mother will do.
The mother is the first teacher of the child. The message she gives that child, that child gives to the world.
My kids don't go back and forth; none of this 50/50 time with the mums and dads. My children live with me; that is it.
A child's first teacher is its mother.
The mother is the early care giver and primary source of identification for all children.... A daughter continues to identify with the mother
I was raised by a black maid by the name of Ida Young and I probably talked to her more than anybody, so whatever is nutty about me was nutty about her, too, I think because I saw a lot more of her than I did of my parents.
The mother is really a more immediate parent than the father because one is born from the mother, and the first experience of any infant is the mother.
The mother is the child's supreme parent.
In India, women are still the primary caregivers. Whether it be for children, whether it be for old people or sick people, you are the primary caregiver. No matter what position you are in.
I became the head of the household. I went to school in the morning and sold wines all afternoon until seven o'clock in the evening.
