Examples Of Motherly Love

Improved Essays
Every day on God’s earth, we see the mother who works 17 hours a day at the laundromat, just so her child can have proper food on the table. We see the mother who endures countless challenges in life, just so her child can live calmly. We see the mother who works four jobs per day, just to fund her child’s college education, and the mother, whom on her deathbed, only asks that her child be looked after. These are mere examples of motherly love. This type of love has existed since the beginning of humanity and lasts until this day. Now we have to ask ourselves, why would a human being sacrifice everything for their child? What is this emotional and physical bond between a mother and her child?
A mother’s love for her child is almost immeasurable.

Caring for and raising a child brings a sense of fulfillment for the mother. Imagine the mother who takes her child to French class, even when the child hates French. Imagine the mother who takes her child to play guitar, even against their wishes. Imagine the mother who makes her son participate in a math contest, even when the child did not believe in himself. The reason behind this is fairly clear. Since the child was born from the mother, it is a part of her. This part is a part that the mother can control. Therefore, the mother is technically caring for herself. A mother uses this part to correct anything that she was unsatisfied with in her own life. For example, a mother who does not speak English would make sure her child could speak English fluently. An overweight mother would make sure her child participated vigorously in physical activity. A mother who failed the Konkoor university entrance exam would make sure her son would be one of the highest in rankings so he never has to feel this sense of failure. To the mother, the child is like a canvas; a canvas on which she can paint her life the way she wanted it to be. Whatever the reason may be, motherly love has been forever hung in the gallery of human history. This love is mightier than a sword, more powerful than a raging tide, and more beautiful than life. So remember, the next time your child says he does not want to eat his vegetables, or that he does not want to go to school, smile. Remind him, “Honey, I love

    Everyone is capable of looking after themselves after a certain age when they are fully mentally and physically matured enough, but before then there are some situations that push them into this ‘child in care’ system. This system is very supportive of children, young people and it's useful for most of the time, some children do not have the same mentality to take this situation easy which impacts on their behaviour or their attitude towards life. Children are precious unfortunately, not all women can have them so the ones that do have children should treat them with utmost care and love. Children get very attached to their parents quickly, but whether they realize or not that the fact that they are going to move from their parents or relatives affects them deeply.

    To many a mother’s love is an unconditional and an irreplaceable act of kindness. This love is seen to be a guide to growth and a love that helps to shape young children into well rounded adults. Throughout Jamaica Kincaid’s memoir, My Brother, her mom tends to show affection only in times of need when someone is down and does not really provide the leadership most mothers give. Most of the memoir is about intimacy, but a lot it deals with the relationships between mother and her children. Kincaid claims that the love her mother would give would not always be the best for them…

    Slavery, during the 1800s, was physically hard for African American fathers, but not as hard as it was emotionally, on mothers. I recently read the primary sources of “Soloman Northup”, “A Mother’s Anguish”, and “Incidents in the life of a slave girl.” These abolitionists argue against slavery by demonstrating the strong, independent role of enslaved women through sacrifice, bravery and their love for family. The role of a sacrificial mother, is first shown in the article “A Mother’s Anguish.” A mother of two little children decided it was better for her children to die quickly than to suffer a long period of torture, “[she] thought of the toil, and stripes and misery her children must endure, she thought she would rather see them both dead.…
