Mothers

In chapter 9 verse 5 of the Book of Mormon it beautifully states a lesson of worth when it says, "Wherefore, do not spen money for that shich is of no worth, nor your laborfor that which cannot satisfy..." My own translation of these words is to not waist time and energy towardds something that is not of any value to your body or spirit. Some people think of that as being a mother. Mothers strive each day to help their children's lives be better often with no return. But, as a successful mother who loves her kids, she knows there is much in return. As a mother that puts all of her effort into loving her child or children, it gets hard, tiring, and very frustrating. in a video we watched for our class, a feminist women stated that women in the past were supposed to take care of the children and love it. When was taking care of children ever an easy task? I would  want to change what she said ans say that although having children is hard, there is love put into it because of the reward od seeing the child progress and the attachment from birth. Although she was talking about the role of a women, it still bothered me about the view he took on motherhood. Theodore Roosevelt once said, "Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty...I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life." Motherhood is worth it and brings so many useful life lessons and incomparable love.
