What is the hardest part of motherhood for you?
I am currently in that phase of motherhood where my kids feel I am a Super Mom and have special abilities through which I can solve any problem.
The other day, I gave a cookie to my son. As he took his first bite, it broke into two. He did not want his cookie to break and wanted to gulp the entire piece as a whole. With eyes full of tears and some hope, the first person he came running to was his Mom. He wanted me to fix that cookie back. Somewhere,  he felt his mom has superpowers by which she can fix everything right. I tried giving him a new cookie but that did not help the situation.
For me the hardest part of motherhood is to justify myself as a human with no super power, and yet not letting my children lose their faith in me. Explaining this could be easier to the world, but not to young children whose universe revolves around their mom. For kids that young, their mom can never be wrong. To make them realize that moms are a human being at the end and are bound to err, is the most difficult part of parenting.
Don't you think so?

For me, the hardest part is to not being able to meet my own expectations of what I want to do for her!

very true charru...my baby and needs makes me feel kash I would have been with some super power ,as we are human after all and its difficult to fulfill the desires...baby when fall sick, when falls,when uncomfortable ,in fear or anything needs mother and wants her to solve her problem immediately , ...and babys eyes says it all...when he sees mama for any need...u feel so blessed that your so important human for this Lil munchkin yet our capacities are limited...
