A famous quote from mothers, new and experienced, is "mother hood is the best hood!"
Why it is, you might ask. Why would something so painfully labourous *pun intended* from birth to the length of a lifetime, be viewed as the best era of a woman's life?
Well, simply because it is a labourous labour of eternal love and the beginning of a fulfilliing life, and then once you are long gone from this earth - a legacy of teaching that you will leave behind for many generations.
