Celebrating Moms This Mother's Day

I'm at a wonderful time as a mother, my youngest took her first steps a couple months ago and my oldest and middle had parts in their school programs, are amazing soccer players and get good grades. But honestly it's not their achievements that make me proudest, it's the wonderful people they are becoming. Kind, smart, willing to help anyone, fighters for those less fortunate. That's what Im proud. They make ME a better person and a better mother.

I never thought I wanted to have kids. Didn't know if I would be a good mom. Once my husband and I decided to have children, that all changed. The moment I became pregnant, I loved my baby. I decided right then my only most important job was to protect and take care of my child. And I like to think I have. Yes, we all make mistakes, but I always put the needs of my kids first. And my children know they can count on me to always be there. I am proud of the two wonderful, caring adults I have raised.

My three children are my rocks. I am a single mother, three kids (9 yr old twins & a 5 yr old) and I work a full-time job. Zero support from any external entity except my daycare provider whom I would not be able to do anything without. I start work at 6 AM, my kids get up at 5:10 to 5:20 (I stagger them due to bathroom times), I drop them off at daycare NLT 5:45. She feeds them breakfast and drops them off at school at 8 AM. My kids unfortunately understand the choices I must make in life to be able to do everything I can for them and are supportive through thick and thin with whatever life throws at us. They always talk about the future and how they want to send me on a cruise for mother's day - LOL. I tell them that a phone call is all I could ever dream of from them. They are my inspiration for everything I do in life and would not change it for anything. Some things in life are better left untouched.

I was a single mom of 3 girl's for 25 years and it wasn't easy , but if I had to do it all over again I will...I have 3 of the most amazing daughter a mom could ask for...So if I had to do all over I will....

My proudest moments are each and every time I look at my 2 bright, beautiful, caring daughters and think to myself how wondrous it is that I "made" these two amazing beings.

So proud of my special needs son and with all of our dedication and assistance is finally turning a corner and it makes us so proud.

my grandson sweetest thing God ever sent my way

I wish so much that I could give this gift to my 30 year old daughter. I was in the hospital for two months, and I had planned to surprise her with a GREAT surprise 30th Birthday Party. Her husband, nor anyone much really, ever gives her anything for birthdays, other than me at times, nor Christmas, nor Mother's Day. She is a great person and a wonderful mother, and it breaks my heart at times at the small show of appreciation towards for all that she does. She is noble, as noble as she can be, about it though. This would be so very great to give her this wonderful gift, especially since she never did receive a thing for her "special" 30th birthday.

Proudest moment when my son graduated high school despite his challenges.

My Mum is a wonderful role model, she is always positive and trys to do what is best. She learns from her mistakes and teaches that they are one way to learn - she is 75 now, and I cherish our conversation more now than ever. Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful Mothers out there!!

My Mom was a SAHM growing up because she hated the daycare scene. When my youngest sibling started High School, she went back to school and got a teaching degree and graduated in her 40's. She was a Paraeducator and now has taught 3rd grade for over 5 years now. Now I have teens of my own and they know that if Grandma could go back at 40 for her education, there is no excuse to sit still after High School. She inspires me, her students and my boys!

My son just came back from a three month trip with his school from Lanjaron, Spain. After eleven hours in the caar yesterday it was sure nice to finally see my son. I am so very proud of him. I actually got to hug him. These are the moments you cherish for a lifetime.

I was so proud of my mom for passing her citizenship exam and got to go watch her ceremony too.

I never thought that i could be a stay at home mom, but I've been a mom of three (16, 14, and 10 years old) for 17 years now and my kids are all doing well (happy, healthy, good grades and they have become very well mannered citizens). I can't wait to see what they become. Thank you :)

So proud that my sons have grown up to be great dads. They've given me eleven grandchildren to spoil!
