A lot of mothers want to be with their children. They can't afford it for this reason or that reason.

Along with a livable wage, many parents are desperate for quality affordable child care.

A mom can't afford to be sick.

It is a truism that children need more of Mother than of money.

Without greater support for childcare, parents of young children may be forced to choose cheaper, poor quality care for their children or fail to provide it entirely.

I know that a mother, no matter how impoverished or uneducated, will do anything to save her babies.

As a mother, you have that impulse to wish that no child should ever be hurt, or abused, or go hungry, or not have opportunities in life.

Too often the pressure for popularity, on children and teens, places an economic burden on the income of the father, so mother feels she must go to work to satisfy her children's needs. That decision can be most shortsighted.

With the right support, a child growing up in a dysfunctional household, who was destined for a lifetime on benefits could be put on an entirely different track - one which sees them move into fulfilling and sustainable work. In doing so, they will pull themselves out of poverty.

There are plenty of mothers who should not be allowed to raise their children.
