I got married at 21 and I thought becoming a mother is just as easy as ABC. My mom used to argue with me why I married that soon. I had my reasons and that was immediate. Now that I had become a mother for seven years, I still had lots of complaints about raising children and other home management issues. I know there’s no retirement in this work even if I will have grandson and daughters in the future or in any case death will cut off all those stuffs. Now, I have a school kid and I know that my responsibilities become wide and had more add-ons. how about you?

its not really to become a mother specially for a first timer like me... i quit my job so that i could be able to focus on taking care of my son, at first i thought it was just easy its now that i realize that its a real hard responsibility, i have to give lots of thing that i used to to, i had to sacrifice so many things for my son,,but in the end there is also realization that i felt the happiness that i never felt before being a mother, it was such a fun and memorable moments when im with my son,,,, despite all the hardship im super grateful for this opportunity because i do believe that not all married couple are given a chance to bear a child. my child is my one precious gift. he brings so much joy to us. he inspires us with his tiny little laughter... being a mother is a divine gift from God

you're lucky that you got the chance to personally take care of ourself. it's my wish and dream but i didn't acquire that whole opportunity since im a working mom and im away at home from 8am to 5 pm. when i arrive at home my kid is already sleepy and worst i came home that he's already asleep. i was saddened to the fact that i had no choice but to work since we had such finances and i need to help my husband with that. sometimes i feel envy to those hands-on mom. you should be really grateful.

I am still single, but at least know I can share my mom`s and older sister`s experience. My sister is married with 11 year-old son, how many kids d you have n how old?Being a mother is nice,but also tiring as it is 24 hours job.
