A Mother's Most Important Work

Babies do not want to be away from their mothers and they make that abundantly clear. They cry for what they need and they cry for Mama when she leaves. It is a mother's responsibility to meet her baby's needs. If Mom must leave to work to supply the baby's need for food and shelter that is one thing. It is quite another for mom to leave an infant all day long every day, simply because there's something else she'd rather be doing than caring for her baby. Babies need mothers. Yes, caring for her baby is a mother's most important work. It may not be her only work. But it is her most important.
