It never makes news when billions of mothers all over the world cooks, cleans, washes, works, teaches, disciplines and just sacrifices their life to their children without thinking twice (not written in defense of this mother)...was just wondering why nobody appreciates the mothers the world over...Is it just such a mundane action that someone who does not abide by such unspoken rules should be highlighted?

It's not the case that nobody appreciates the "normal" mothers the world over, it just isn't extraordinary, just picture the headlines . Hey, I'm sure your family appreciates you more than you think.

Hello Mug..
What you said about how a mother should be and what she should do is correct. But when these kind of things happens we can't understand why they happens. We know that a good mother talks to her kids, about how they should be, all those good things that they should know. She could teach her kids how to work for example. One of those kids is 18 so he could help her. It's better that kids work and learn how to gain their things. They will understand how difficult is to have things today and will understand the problems they have in the family. Well, that worked in my time with my kids. But I think there are many ways help our kids.

true Sorg true... I appreciate your nice response!

I believe there are many more responsible parents raising their kids to be good people than those we hear about in the news.
