Its Mother's Day, again. So here's a few thoughts:

God Bless those who serve in this calling. You can argue all you want; its a calling. If you are following after Jesus & leaning on Him-there is an anointing available for this Holy work. If your not calling out to Him for help ( I think thats a daily thing), not only are you tired, worn out, overwhelmed, depressed but ignorant!  As usual God being a good God- He said He'd give wisdom to the simple. Come on, we all have areas that we need help- we're ignorant.  Man I wish I'd known this stuff when my kids were growing up.

God Bless fathers who have to be serving as both mother & father. (wow that must be tough)
God Bless mothers who serve both as mother & father. (again, challenging)
God Bless grandmothers who have stepped up & picked up the mother role- again.
God Bless those women who are mentoring (in other words just flat out loving) younger women as spiritual mothers.
God Bless mothers who have had to give their children up.
God Bless the mothers who were given the gift of ( adopted) children
I may have left something out- but what a great start; to look at some of the styles of Mother. .
