Mother’s Day Celebration: Who is a Mother?

By Justina Kuteyi

A mother brings unique contributions to the job of family development that no one else can replicate

Literally, a mother is a woman who gives birth or who has the responsibility of physical and emotional care for specific children.

A mother can also be loosely define as a female parent, materfamilias, matriarch, biological mother, birth mother, foster mother, adoptive mother, stepmother, surrogate mother, ma, mam, mammy, old dear, old lady, old woman, mum, mummy, mumsy, mom, mommy, mater, mama, mamma, Mata, amma, progenitress, progenitrix

The meaning of being a mother is virtually endless. A mother is a protector, disciplinarian and friend. A mother is a selfless, loving human who must sacrifice many of their wants and needs for the wants and needs of their family. A mother works hard to make sure their child is equipped with the knowledge, skills and abilities to make it as a competent human being.

A woman is also the family’s conflict resolution expert, housekeeper, event planner, teacher
finance manager, activities director, Counselor
etc

Utimately, a woman can be described as World Changer. A mother plays a great role in the training of a child. Mothers change the world with every child they raise. if a mother fails to train a child properly, such mother has created a problem for the world to deal with, like terrorist, rapist, armed robber etc. However, if a mother performs her duty very well, the world will be a better place for us to live in.

Thank you to all mothers for playing this endless roles. Happy Mother’s Day
