Saturday Sidebar: Share those aspects of mothering that inspire you?

This week’s Saturday Sidebar Question comes from World Moms Blog writer ‘A lady in france‘.  She asked our writers,

“What are those aspects of mothering that inspire you?”

Check out what some of our World Moms had to say…

Mom Photographer of California, USA writes:
“That picture is me trying to figure out the sewing machine. I am very inspired and motivated to learn to sew because my mom used to be a professional seamstress and she would make all kinds of clothing for us. she would always amaze me how good she is in doing it and how little effort for her it is to look at something at the store and then come back home and make almost exact thing (even better).”

ALadyInFrance of France writes:
“I’m so grateful for my own mother’s encouragement when I had my first child and would ask her for advice (out of insecurity, not necessarily lack of knowledge). She would say, “You’re her mom and you know best.” I think we have to remember that we moms know our children best in order to be their advocate. ”

Karyn Van Der Zwet of New Zealand writes:
“Those mothers who are serene and calm always impress me.”

Kirsten Doyle of Ontario, Canada writes:
“Being an autism mom is a very special kind of parenting. There are moments that most parents don’t even notice, but for a special needs parents, every single little thing that my child does is a true gift because it’s a mark of progress. I believe I appreciate and am inspired by the “little things” a lot more because my child has to work so much harder for them.”

Mamma Simona of South Africa writes:
“The Phoenix answered this question at her blog – Blog By the Phoenix – feel free to “check it out” and comment! ”

Mrs. P Cuyugan of Philippines writes:
“What inspires me most about mothering is how moms all over the world are able to turn to other moms for guidance and inspiration. The more “seasoned” moms are always willing to help. The younger moms are eager to learn, and later on pay it forward by passing on their learnings to the next batch of new moms. No mom ever feels out of place when she is among other moms! It’s wonderful. Read more about her opinion here on her blog.”

Tina@Truly Rich Mom of Philippines writes:
“What inspires me about mothering is that once you become a mom, it’s like you’re part of this global “club” where millions, or maybe billions, of other women totally understand where you’re coming from as a mother. You become more selfless, and I learned this especially from my own mother. You also discover a greater purpose behind your existence.”

What about you … Tell us about those aspects of mothering that inspire you?  

And do you have a question you would like to pose to our WMB writers?  If so, email us at wmbsidebareditor@gmail.com to see what they have to say.

    Multitasking moms, serene & calm moms (as Karyn of NZ) always inspire me to be strong and reminds me not to beat up myself when I’m not at my best to provide my children. I want to teach my children to be positive, to believe in their ability to excel whatever they are good at.

    The moments when I catch my little girl doing something she used to be too small/shy/scared/unable to do inspire me. They remind me that raising her and her brother and helping them grow are the most important things I will do.

    Tina wrote here about becoming a mother, “You also discover a greater purpose behind your existence.” This is so true!!

    And for my entire life prior to kids I have NEVER been a morning person. My mother even said that she chose afternoon kindergarten for me because there was no way I would have woken up in time for the morning class (kindergarten was half day at 5 yrs old.) I guess you can say that my children have “woke me up.” And, it is the best feeling ever. I’m up at 6:30am the latest EVERY day when my girls wake up. I am inspired how they have changed me in so many ways, including this one! Makes me feel anything is possible. 🙂

    I love the sewing picture! At first I thought you had a really cool haircut, but then I realized it was the plant. I’m hopelessly inept at sewing I must say.

    Like Jen, my kids inspire me. The unconditional love they give me inspires me 🙂
