What is one of the most challenging jobs of a mother?

Two things: caring for them when you yourself are sick and watching them do something (as they get older) that you know will have a negative consequence but having to let them do it because that's the natural order of things.

My answer is sort of similar to 'a chick's'. It's difficult to watch your children go through sickness or pain, even if it's something as simple as the stomach flu or a paper cut. You're sitting there holding their hair back or dousing their scraped knee in alcohol, and you just want to yell, "Give this to ME, not them! I can handle it... I want it. Just leave my f*cking kid alone!" The other difficult part is allowing them to make their big mistakes. You've been there and done that, so you just want to intervene and say, "Uh, yeah, I've tried this before, and you're not gonna like the way it ends. Trust me." But there are some lessons that unfortunately have to be learned first-hand to really sink in, and it's one of the most difficult but necessary things in the world to stand back and let your kids topple over when all you want to do is catch them. At some point, you just have to believe that if you've really done your job as a parent, then they'll be able to dust themselves off and get back up again.

Making decisions with no idea of what the impact on your child may be. For example, if I were to sit back and let my daughter make a mistake when she's older, will she learn from it and become a better person? Or will it spiral out of control and negatively impact her future? And if it spirals out of control, will there still be time to help her?

To deal with a moron teenager like you...

Having to watch by helplessly. As my brave lo gets treatments. I am so proud of her. Being only 4yo . I can't believe how well she does. She doesn't complain or anything. She laughs with the doctors and nurses. Knowing that she going to be sick soon. This is the most challenging thing I have ever had to do. But like I said. I am very proud of her. And I tell her too. I would give anything in the world for her not to go through this. Or trade places with her.
