I was just wondering about this... we tend to do everything from dieting and exercising to lose weight,feel good and look good so we could catch some of the boys attention. But when we finally settle down and give birth to a kid or 2, with all the responsibility at home and at work do you still care about looking good and sexy? I have 6 more siblings that makes us 7 all in all... but my mum is still sexy. She worksout everytime she has the chance. She told me that she has a responsibility being a mother to us, but likewise, she is also a wife. So she has the responsibility to my dad... Well, what do you think?

Your mother is doing the right thing. Not for the other boys and guys to be fascinated, but to take care of her body for your daddy. How I wish most wife will have such a wonderful attitude. To exercise to be fit and look good is not for someone else, but for your dearly beloved and for yourself. Your mother is demonstrating to you that she is taking good care of herself for you and your dad. When was the last time you told your mother you appreciate what she's doing? It is time to say it now because we don't know what tomorrow may bring forth. Have a great and marvelous day ahead.

I have always taken care of myself both in looks and physical fitness but not necessarily for other people but for myself. I like to have confidence when I know I am pleasing to look at. I love clothes and I buy them for my own pleasure and not for anyone else not even for my partner. Maintaining our looks is our responsibility towards ourselves and not influenced by others. It is not really to catch attention but for some self interests. If you look in the mirror and find yourself still looking good in spite of age or whatever difficulties in life, it adds to the self esteem.

that is so true... it doesn't matter what others say. sometimes, they say things just because they are insecure. at least when you see yourself in the mirror and find yourself satisfying to look at, you are happy and who the hell cares about what the others say! thanks for sharing yahnee

Sounds like your mom is a gem, in wanting to please everyone all the ways she knows how to. Good for her, I hope she succeeds in all she does.

Not because we are a mother and a wife, we have to stop keeping ourselves sexy. In my opinion, I will stay sexy for my husband of course. Your mother is right, and she has responsibility for your dad.

That's true. You could be a good mother, but you should not forget that we also have a responsibility to keep our husbands happy. Apparently, because of our human nature, keeping our spouse happy doesn't only mean being faithful and being a great home maker, but we also have to stay appealing and attractive to our partner's eyes. Even if I am just at home, I try to dress nicely for him and for myself, so I'd feel good. When we go out, I make sure I look great so he'd be proud of me, too.

I think that sometimes people focus too much on looks and do not focus on the things that are really important. That is not to say that it is a bad thing to look good, but what looks good to one person is not necessarily what looks good to another. I think that being healthy and maintaining a positive attitude, including positive self-esteem, is what is really important. A woman can put on make-up, do her hair just right, put on stylish clothes and still not capture people's attention if she does not feel good about herself. Similarly, a woman can wear sweatpants, have her hair up in a ponytail and not wear make-up yet capture a lot of attention if she has a positive attitude and seems to be confident.

As a mother and a wife with two different roles in life, it is sometimes difficult to make oneself pretty at home especially if a lot of things to do. But of course, it is our duty to make both happy. SO, as much as possible we are trying our best to still look the same, sexy and pretty, like before when we are still G/f and B/f. That is to make our man not to look for another woman.

i agree with your mom. its is not just for the husband but our own self as well. i am a working mom and i find it difficult to manage my time between my family and work. so i often forget having time for myself. mothers are really selfless that is why we seldom compromise ourselves for our families' sake. it is not that bad but we should not forget to pamper our self once in a while.

This is awesome. A mother that give birth to so many child but still keep good looking is rare. Your dad must be very proud to have a wife like her!
