Question...
"how can you tell if this mom or that mom is a successful mom or otherwise?"
How do one define success in this matter? very subjective matter indeed.
perhaps...maybe
A mom's job (apart from her unconditional love and providing the basic necessities) is almost done when she is her children's best friend, their confidante, gained their trust in every matters.
They see her as their pillar of strength, their problem solver, a shoulder for them to cry on, their equal yet full of respect of her.
She is their fairy god-mother, their guardian angel...and of course their source of $$$
In short.... She is everything to them! She is their world!!!
Am I?
A question only my children could answer...
And as for mine... she was a great mom.
I thank you, Mak
~for not letting me sleep in, when there were house chores needed attention
~for telling me off when I swept the floor but dust and dirt didn't move an inch
~for giving me a smack or two when I was out of line
I thank you for these valuable life skills you taught me.
If not for that hand that rocked my cradle, that hand that fed and bathed me, that hand that also disciplined, those hands that were raised with constant doas (prayers) for the Mighty One to protect and guide me...
Your sacrifices... your love... made me who and what I am today.
"A mother's hug lasts long after she lets go..."
I could still feel her hugs, her kisses on my cheeks...
I miss her...
