Motherhood: the only vocation where one can hold a full-time job with no pay, no vacations, no worker's compensation and no one offering to form a union to get any of those. There's no room for advancement and no retirement. Hired for a lifetime with the understanding that mother is to be totally selfless and giving.
Children can be hatched, birthed, adopted, or acquired...but mothers are all equalized in labor. No matter how children come into the house...a mother had to await their arrival. All that and yet I still say, "Motherhood is GREAT!"
In what other occupation can you set your own hours (for the most part), never punch a time card, and dress however you'd like? In motherhood you tell your employees (er..children) how-to, when-to, and what-to for everything. Mothers are the ultimate teachers! Mothers are the cheerleaders, the coaches, and the substitute players of the team! Mothers are the conductors of the band!
There is nothing like the power-rush of being a mother! Realizing you have "Incredible Cosmic Power! In an itty-bitty living space." (Robin Williams as the Gene in Disney's "Aladdin")
Mothers are responsible for the future generations!
To the mother that raised me, prayed for me, cried over me and with me..."THANK YOU!"
To all you mothers out there, "Happy Mother's Day!"
I'm a mother, what's your super power?
