the role of the mother is very important... they serve as the friends, mother and sister their son or daughter.. they are the big the factor in molding their child as a human being who interact in a society.. how important is your mother for you? do you even care for her?

I wish I had all the time in this world to be with my mom, as it happens in pain or gain I think of my mom first. it has been a decade since I got married, never a day has passed without remembering her. eventhough I am very far from her, being a mom myself I know how it feels to be away from kids. but family takes all my priority now. i make sure to call her everyday and try to be with my parents( as my dad is also equally important to me ) when the kids get the vacation.this is most I can do as a married daughter satying at a distance place. but iám there for them whenever the need arises.

My mother is very important to me. Even though we moved 1400 miles away (not because of her), we still talk almost every day. My kids also talk to her regularly, and both parents have visited us several times. When my parents were in an accident, even though I have lots of family close to them, I was on the phone with the hospital getting things taken care of that no one else would do.

Yes, they are fine now. The accident was about 17 months ago. They were actually pretty lucky. They were driving my brother's old car, and the salesman at the dealership told him it didn't have a passenger-side airbag anymore, but they were hit on the passenger side and the airbag did deploy. My mom was in the hospital for 17 days, the first week of that in ICU.

My mom is very important in my life. I don't think I could handle living in a different state than her. We talk on the phone, visit with each other and whenever I need her she can come over and help me out. Ihope that my daughter feels the same way about me someday.

I care for my mom and I do love her but I believe there will come a time that we have to separate our ways from our mom especially when we already have our own family.Right now I'm trying to be independent from my mom.Wish I could go on with my life without her always on my side coz I'm not a child anymore.I have to learn how to stand on my own but of course I will still consider her advises to me.

your right! when we have form or build our own family we need to live without their support we need to stand with our own feet to test our endurance in facing several trials in we may encounter. But of course it doesn't mean that we will leave them for the rest of our lives. we still have to have them as well.

I love my mother very much. But before i got married and came to live away from her, i did not understand her and resented some of her ways. But then when i was away from her i understood everything about her and my love for her has multiplied. I want my mom to live long and live a healthy and happy life..

thats very true.. because you now experienced the role of being a mother. and it is not that easy at it is. that is why you now understand her specially when you did wrong before and she always bat in to say "hey baby thats wrong and you need to do like this bla bla bla.... so hows to be a mother?

When I was very young and in elementary school, my parents divorced and by choice I wanted to live with my dad. Mainly due to the fact that my mom had a verbally abusive boyfriend that I didn't care to be around that she soon would marry. I would visit my mom often, but the phone was our main contact. I have since grew up and now have 2 young kids of my own and in the course of that time, my mom has divorced the guy who was abusive to her. I love her with all my heart, but I have never been totally close to her in a way that it would be hard for me to go a week without talking to her. I do make it a point to call her though and if I don't, my 2 year old will somehow end up with my cell phone and call her LOL.

its very hard for the chldren to choose where they want to live and who they want to be with. But in your case you choose your father because of the issue of your mother.. But as you grow older, you will feel that your life is incomplete because your mother is all around, right? Although ur parents are both important, you can't hide the fact that its hard if your mother is not with you... Although you communicate through phone, are you satisfied with it? Ofcourse i know that you really miss your mom and you want her to be with you, RIGHT? by the way, thanks for sharing....

I cannot imagine my life without my mother. I live far away from her, since I had to leave the country and accompany my husband after marriage. So I miss her every day. my mother has been my friend, my sister, in fact everything. I never felt the need of having a best friend since my mother is my best friend. But as the years roll by, I am always afraid of loosing her. She is getting old and my heart stops thinking that one day she will not be with me. Oh God!!!!
