I think it's both.\n\nI'd write an essay on it but I'm not in the mood this morning.

Wow, that sucks. \nYou could say something like the "good mother" will pass on good moral conduct to their children, who will hopefully make choices that benefit society, making a "good nation". "Good mothers" will create an example that her children would want to follow, also to pass on how to make good choices and to provide a measure for good judgement that will help people be fair in their decision making. \nThe huge hole in this topic is the Nature vs. Nurture debate. Is it the envirnoment in which children are raised, or is it the parents that determine what kind of person the child will be? I personally think it's a mixture of the two, combined with free will and the ability to make choices.\nAnyway, don't freak out- just look at the subject from all angles. Do major political figures have "good mothers"? Have their upbringings influenced how they've conducted themselves in their careers, therefore contributing to the "good nation" concept? \nGood luck! :)

I think Mother's Day is for ALL mother's.  It isn't called MY MOTHER'S DAY.   I've always thought of it this way. All mothers should be cherished, especially on that day.  :)

Without a doubt, you're mom.\n\nShe's as rugged a woman as I've ever seen.

I think June is certainly the most commonly used icon to represent that type of parenting. \n\nI absolutely know that you can work and be a good mother.  Staying at home doesn't guarantee anything.

From a father who raised a son while married to a nurse, this is perfectly natural.  Do not worry about it.  Nursing a baby is a very close and personal thing and your body is designed so that it feels a little bit good.  It's ok.

In some ways yes.. however, I do have an ultimate problem with having a set of archetypes and symbols which we all can relate to. There is an argument given that there is an archetype of a mother- and this fundemental archetype should be ultimately the same in every culture... However the role of the mother is seen to differ from culture to culture.... however, I have to wonder when I come across myths from civilisations that haven't met and have developed very very similar mythologies. I suppose my real question is what are these archetypes? Maybe the archetype should not be "mother" but something far more fundemental. \nSorry I couldn't give you a better answer... I'm trying the best I can to grapple with what I see as a rather complexed idea.

let me tell you this much... don't trust or believe the people on Y answers over your own Dr!!!\n\nget several opinions... see what the general answer is.. Then trust your gut and your heart I believe that maternal instinct is something that still exists and is very strong follow what you KNOW your baby needs... if you listen to the voice inside after you do some fact gathering you will have the right answer.

What do you call the Earth Is it masculine or feminine. We say MOTHER EARTH(Pearl S Buck)\nSo geography is a study of mother earth and the first lady of mother \nknown to many for long time is QUEEN MOTHER.\nSo QUEEN it is.

I dont' think so.... but the bond between mother and child can be truely amazing... anything is possible. But I think that is one of the things that falls under enviornment and nuturing.

Yes, commensalism is the correct description of the relationship between mother and fetus.

Seeds sprout. Eggs hatch. Men and women have sex and produce children. We're no greater a miracle than the mice living beneath my porch, the porcupine in the nearby woods, or the python in the jungle. If you think nature on its own is a miracle, that's fine, but I think you just redefined the word.

I wasn't raised by mom because she wasn't the motherly type. So I guess the best thing about her is she was smart and gave me to my dad to raise. The worst...she doesn't have a motherly bone in her body.
