What's the best advice you've gotten about being a mother to your kid(s)?
I was advised to always try to be a loving , caring , Godly and responsible person to my kids.

What assumptions did you have before you became a mother that you found untrue when you had kids?
I thought that pain and stress will be over after pregnancy and delivery. It turns out raising kids is another stress on it's own.
