I admire mothers. They are overworked and underpaid (or not paid at all. Lol)

My 2 youngest sister once told me they grew up feeling I was more of a parent than our mom and their dad ever were.

They're 14 and 16 years younger than me, and I was the one to get up to comfort them at night, feed them, change their diapers, and take them out for a walk or to play. I was even forced to stay at home sometimes to look after my sisters when they were toddlers.

I'll never be a parent myself, but I have a good idea of what it's like being the responsible one of kids.

Mothers for sure are supperheros. I however, do not believe monetary compensation should be the part of this equation. As fathers do not get paid to be fathers, it is their duty to provide financial support and those who don't shame on them. Parenthood is a choice we all make. Who would pay me to be a parent?

If being a parent was so easy a lot more dads would actually do it. Your work matters for your family so much. Talk to anyone who had a horrible mother and it never ever heals for them

Fathers as well. The concept is of the person staying home to raise children. So it's more accurate to say the "stay-at-home parent" where the majority of times it's a mother who takes on that role.

My mother was very seriously mentally-ill and clueless and drunk most of the time.

Mother's Day is not that far off.
