“Being a mom means love. Children, no matter how old they are, and even if they won’t admit it, always want their parents’ approval and love especially when they think they did something wrong. It is important as a mom to let them know that they are loved no matter what”, says Rachel Frédérique
This mother talks about the meaning of motherhood from her own experience and through her mom’s eyes.

1 – What does ‘being a mom’ mean to you?
Being a mom means love. Children, no matter how old they are, and even if they won’t admit it, always want their parents’ approval and love especially when they think they did something wrong. It is important as a mom to let them know that they are loved no matter what.
2 – Do you think motherhood is outdated or should be reinvented?
Motherhood would never be outdated. Because, for me, mothers have a common goal: happiness of their children by providing, protecting and caring for them.
3 – Does your mom inspire you to have a family of your own some day?
She did. It was always interesting to see, when growing up, how my mom would deal with a husband and 5 kids. None of us felt neglected. Even now that we are all grown up, she is still there for all of us, and she is never tired. This is love.
4 – As a parent, what would you change from the way your mom is dealing/ has dealt with motherhood?
No, I wouldn’t. Because she did the best she could to make us who we are today.
5 – What price would you put on your mom’s love?
My mom’s love has no price. She will always be there for us no matter what. And this reassurance cannot be quantified.
