The best thing about being a mother? Always having something to worry about! Life is never dull, I'm never at a loose end, there's always something going on with one of them that needs a bit of worry. A bit of input. I'd be lost without it!

I agree with nfk completely but would add that I know that mine care for me and would do all they possibly could if I needed help! Xx

The best thing about being a Mother (when the children were young) was all the things we did together, the walks in the countryside, trips to Museums and the sea side, seeing them grow physically and mentally and enjoying their company.
The best thing about being a Mother ( now our children are adults) is having shared experiences and things in common to talk about,and grandchildren to continue reading stories to and gardening and baking with, and trips to the swings and zoo.

Pick one thing? Impossible!

First they were my children. Now they are my best friends.

The best thing about being a mother? Seeing my Daughter and Son in Law being wonderful parents to their children

Loving and being loved in return

Finding the amount of love available grows in proportion to the number of people needing it.

That I now have tapestry of memories of love and laughter.
So many firsts
some tears and some sadness.
To be a mum is the greatest gift of all

It is also being aware that sadly not everyone shares the joys of motherhood and that I am extremely fortunate

The best thing about being a mother....is being a grandmother !

The best thing about being a mother is the immense pleasure I feel every time I see my son, or speak with him on the phone. It's a sensation of such happiness and warmth within me that mere words cannot do it justice and I feel as though I am physically glowing.

I don't think I can add a single thing to what's already been said. We share in their joys and we are there to share in their sorrows too.

The best thing about being a mother is knowing you've done your best got them on the road to life and are still here in the bsckground my middle son is getting married after living together for years with his girlfriend he asked my advice about marriage and I said just love each other!

Love - unconditional love.

...not just being <a> mother, but being <the> mother of our four children and grandmother of their children. I glow with love for and pride in them and am constantly surprised by their very existence and achievements. How did that happen?

That moment when it's quiet just after they were born and they looked you straight in the eye as if they are looking into your soul. Wonderful.

Seeing my daughter being a mum to her daughter.

The best thing about being a mum is that I have a lovely Daughter, she is my best friend and we often spend time doing girly things together. I feel so blessed.

Loving and being loved - and having children whom you like and with whom you would share a friendship even if you were not related. So proud of the adults that my son and daughter have become: wonderful role models for my grandson.

being able to share experiences anew, see their enjoyment as they discover something whether a creepy crawley on a walking in park,reading a new book. show my childhood haunts and games. spending time togeather whether reading, crafts, walk, play, cooking.listening to them, telling you about views or day, sometimes hard to do without laughing.

Having children is the most fulfilling experience, to have these little people you are responsible for and who need you completely. The little things they do put a smile on my face every day xx

The best thing about being a mother is to know that my children are now independent, well adjusted people. I'm proud of the way they look after their families and have a sense of duty. As their mother, I hope that I have, in some small way, contributed towards them becoming these people and that, they, in turn, will pass these positive traits on to their children.
