What is your most rewarding momment? Mine was seeing my son, who is now 3 months, just growing up and experiencing new things for the first time. I haven't had a "defining" momment, but have you?

The most rewarding part of being a mother is the unconditional love that is shared between myself and my 3 children. there is no bond stronger then a mothers and her children and i just live each day to wake up and see, to hold, to love my children and each day to see how each of them are growing and developing into their own.

I love waking up to my son every morning. His smile makes my day. I know what you mean about the unconditional love. I never imagined how much I could love this little guy until he was born. It is amazing the love I feel for him, and also the love I feel for my husband.

I think there are many rewarding moments in motherhood. I remember watching my daughter smile for the first time, saying her first word, learning to ride a bike, watching her learn to read, learning to potty, saying I love you, the most touching was when my daughter was little and she thought I knew everything. Now she knows I don't and that is ok too. I am watching my daughter now grow into a beautiful young woman and that is rewarding in itself.

I can't wait for those momments with my son. Since he still is young, he's got a lot of growing up left to do. I have already seen him reach so many milestones in just these last 3 months. I look towards the future, and all I see is happiness. I can't wait to see what kind of a man he grows up to be.

Honestly if I could keep my daughter a little girl I would. I miss the little girl. There is so little of it left, as she becomes a woman. But sometimes I see a glimpse of her and it touches me greatly. I too want to know what kind of a woman my daughter will grow up to be. I think she is a fantastic person and it has been an adventure I would not give up watching her grow up until now. There are always going to be highs and lows but the highs always outlast the lows! Thanks for the best response rating, I am truly honored!

For me the most rewarding times are when someone gives your children a compliment and you know that you can be thanked for your children turning out the way that they did.

It makes you special specially if you are very competitive with men. Motherhood is God's biggest blessing which cannot be acquired by men.

And even if it was "physically" possible, I'd like to see them go through the pain of contractions!! Ha Ha!

The most rewarding part of being a mother for me is at night when he is asleep. I always pray and give thanks at night for letting my son another day to enjoy life and be with me. I feel most rewarded at night because I am confident that he is safe and that he is at peace in his sleep. Just watching him sleep with his angelic face reassures me that I may be on the right track
