I think, now that I am a mother, I look at other mums like Jo Pavey and just mums that go back to work and work incredibly hard, and I have so much admiration and appreciation for how hard it is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As a mother, I work hard every day and I expect that work to be recognized and appreciated. Because I work for and with human beings, sometimes they're grateful and sometimes they aren't.
I never thought I was a great mom. I always worked. I fell in love with my children as they got older.
I love being a mum but I do love to work too.
I don't have the hard everyday life that so many working mothers face.
I admire my mother for being a single mum. It's ridiculously hard.
I love being a mum. Sometimes I just wish nobody knew who I was.
I think that I was raised by two of the best people ever. My mother and father are just the definition of hard work, like what hard work brings to you. They've taught me and my brothers and sisters to set your goals high and to give everything to reach them.
My own mother, my sister and nearly all the women in my family had full-time jobs as mothers. They were wonderful at it. They drove their children back and forth to soccer, skating lessons, piano lessons, private schools, but I sensed, even in my own mother, a kind of distant dissatisfaction.
Every mother I've ever met, pretty much without exception, is doing the best job she can ever do.
I absolutely love being a mother. It's been a blessing. It's fun and it's hard, but it's absolutely amazing.
