What is a mother's role in a family?

In a family, the mother's role has traditionally been to raise the children and take care of household chores. However, the role of mothers in the family home is constantly changing. Mothers are increasingly taking on multiple roles, such as working and looking after young ones at the same time.

Because mothers give birth to their children, it only makes sense that they stay at home and bond with the newborn, at least during the initial stages. The wisdom and knowledge that a mother can impart to her children helps them to develop into mature young adults. For single mothers the pressure is even greater, as parenting responsibilities are not shared with a partner or husband.
