Motherhood is a blessing. In this blog I will highlight the role of a mother in shaping up her child’s future and her contribution to make her child a good human being.

Mother plays a crucial and most important role in upbringing of a child. But her sacrifices and contribution is underestimated. The emotional, moral values, child’s overall growth, a mother does it all. Sometimes she has to become a shield for her child, to protect child from all the evil. Mothers are full of emotions and love when it comes to her child. She supress her feelings when she is taken for granted at times just for the sake of giving good environment and happiness to her child.

I will still say, motherhood is a blessing because your child’s love makes you feel so. The day your child is born, you also born as a mother. It’s your birthday too. Your child is always at back of your mind. Wherever a mother goes she is always worried and concern about her child. Motherhood becomes mentalhood when she has to perform all the duties by her own be it household work, helping child with homework, socialising, taking care of all the family members etc. I am saying so because a mother puts all her heart in raising her child and the family. But instead of being appreciated, listens to taunts, that she has done nothing new. These taunts and non- appreciable behaviour by others makes her go into depression.

A mother sacrifices her career for the good of the family but not recognised by others shows, how man dominated this society is. Imagine if mother is ill, whole family gets disturbed. So, it’s important to give utmost respect and appreciation to the woman of the family for her happiness and good for the family. Being a mother is a blessing because not all woman are so blessed. A mother’s happiness is very much important.

When we appreciate someone it makes them happy. So is the case within the family, if the efforts of a mother is respected and recognised she will do more than she can for the family with happiness. When a mother makes you feel that family is her world. So it’s duty of the family members that they make this world more happy place to be. Life of a woman changes when she becomes a mother. Her time is being divided. She devote more time with her child and due to which the time which she has to be with other family members is compromised.

A mother is said to be busy with some course or hobby when her care is not needed anymore by the family. Everyone is independent and can take care of themselves. Funny part about motherhood is that you keep on making plans to visit your friends but unable to fulfill all the promises. Household chores is considered as most unproductive work which a woman does her whole life. Grocery shopping, it takes so much time thinking and making the right choices for the family. A woman or mother is the backbone of a family.

The emotional, spiritual, academic, mental growth of a child is result of 90% contribution of his mother. Mother makes her child a good human being by giving him good moral values, by performing good deeds by self, and encourage child to do the same. Repetitive action of child makes him aware of good which he is doing for the society. The child will be spiritual if he see it in family and learn from it. Academic performance of a child will be good if he is encouraged and supported all the time. The knowledge should be above the grades which he get. When a mother wins confidence of a child she not only becomes a mentor for his child but a friend too.

It’s the intelligence of a mother in everything she do for his child and family which makes a happy child and a happy family altogether. Motherhood should be celebrated everyday and not only on mother’s day. Because she is the one who look after her child and family everyday ignoring her interests and health. A mother should always be respected, be it a working mother or full time mother. Her contribution is unmatched.
