13 Reasons Being A Mother Is Great

by ** Tatiana Caldwell ** on May.6.2010

Mother’s Day is coming soon, and I’m a mommy twice over. Boy, motherhood is hard work and can sometimes be challenging, that’s for sure. But overall I love being a mother, and I thought I’d share thirteen reasons why:

  1. The hugs and kisses you get every day
  2. Harass your husband without expending any energy – just order your little minions to attack him
  3. The compliments – “Mommy you look pretty today!” – even when all you’ve done is simply brushed your hair for a change
  4. You have someone who needs your nurturing care … and can in return provide you with some care when you need it
  5. No need to look for the remote control or get up off the comfortable couch again to grab more salt for the popcorn when you can just send one of the kids to fetch it
  6. Hearing “I love you, mommy”
  7. Never look silly for going to the theater to see Disney movies without a child
  8. Seeing yourself in them
  9. A house full of toys, games and candy is a great one, I say
  10. You actually have a temporary excuse for that round, flabby tummy
  11. There’s someone to not only pass on your genes to, but your values, stories, memories and hard-earned assets to
  12. Feel pride in watching something beautiful you created learn, grow and mature
  13. You get to celebrate Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mommies out there!
