I'm asking this for personal reasons so I guess this is the best board to put it.

The perfect mother loves, respects, provides for, nurtures, and understands her children.

But perfect isn't attainable. A mother who does any of these things is worthy of admiration.

>>2 my mom never does any of these. Quite the opposite, actually. She is selfish, never once said "i love You",is disrespectful, and doesn't give a fuck about my problems or even how my day was. Now I'm a paranoid wreck because of it.

>>3 If you know your problem then fix it; don't sit around blaming others for your problems (even if it is their fault) your wasting your time. Now is the time to take action and become the person you want; and don't make excuses for yourself because in life you can cheat anybody but you should never EVER cheat yourself; it makes life a living hell and it's only because your doing it to yourself. It's hard at fisrt (it always is) but trust me the hard part is what makes you stronger.
>>1 The only thing that makes a perfect mother is just simply caring for their child and loving them.
My mother left me alone in the house most of the time when I was little; only because she wanted to go out with her friends and not let me bother her while she was having fun (and I never once had a babysitter; not ONCE). Just left me alone in the house but im ine with that because she did give me a house to stay, a bed to sleep, food to eat (and never gave us bad processed food). She worked three jobs to provide me my basic needs and most of all she loved me so much. Im indebted to her for the rest of my life; and no mater what she does or what troubles her I will always help her, and will always love her.

>>2 My mother is in every way except she doesn't understand me. :C

>>3 I feel really bad for you. D:> Beat her up to realize her mistakes! (Jk XD)

A good mother is one who asked herself "Have I been a good parent?", and tried her best to make her children happy, provide them, understands them, spends time with them, and kept them on the right path.
A bad mother is a woman who with no regrets took abortion, a parent who would sell or throw her child away because of her own selfish reasons, a mother who didn't thought about her child at all.

>>2. Every wor of this.

A perfect mother must do whatever it takes to keep the child in an ideal state both physically and mentally.

I think the best mother is the one who takes the place as your best friend. If you're sick, they should take care of you, but in return you have to take of them back. Mutual respect. Because you have mutual respect, you have mutual rights. I think a mother should always be there to comfort their child, but only when their child was in the right. If they did something wrong, they should explain why it was wrong and /then/ comfort, but only if it's overly necessary. Your mother should be that best friend that cares more about you than you care about yourself, but without being overbearing. Children should have complete freedom - until they screw up. Then the mother has to be strict.

IMO, of course.

Also, a part of friendship is trust. That's what really makes it obvious that you're on a friendly level with your parent - if they trust you. A mother should always trust her child, and in return, the child should always trust their mother. Not stupid trust, though - don't put aside common sense for the sake of "trust."

There is no perfect mother. She can only do the things that she thinks are best for her children.

I know right?
