Can you get better with motherhood?

[morgan78]

I have learnt to be patience and not throw temper tantrums

I wouldnt have ever understood that it was possible to love someone more than life itself and become such a lioness in protecting her.

Most definately.
And there is nothing better than the smile/hug of a child first thing in the morning no matter what time it is.

What a great thread

I have learned that I can function on two hours of sleep!

Parenting causes "soul growth". You must be selfless, patient, understanding, considerate, generous, and kind to be a mother, and those are traits that will make you a much better person.

what a brilliant thread.

each of my three children have taught me something different.... My first, Laura taught me what unconditional love really is, my second, Nathan, taught me how to play, and that its ok to live in your imagination for the day (me robin, to his batman, wendy to his bob the builder ) and my third, Aston has taught me how to forgive, and that love really can heal a broken heart.

but i think the biggest thing i have learnt from all three of them is what a privledge it is to be a part of their lives.

and in answer to the question of the thread - Yes I have definately become a better person through motherhood.
