In a movie, there is a line that says, “The mother in my impression seems to be a similar image of middle-aged women. They are similar in age, appearance, and character. The word mom is always accompanied by the words ‘dedicated,’ ‘perfect,’ and ‘sacred.'”

Gradually, we all seem to forget: No one is born a mother. They just choose to have a baby and become a mother.

In fact, mothers of all ages are actually the same age. They are not born perfect, but grow with their children.

The same-age mother

The mother’s age is calculated from the moment the child is born.

When the baby is one year old, the mother has just turned one year old. She is facing a whole new world: caring for a “little devil” with an angelic face. Feeding, cleaning, changing diapers, sleeping… Often busy late into the night, but also after hearing the baby cry, reflexively jump up to solve the problem…

In countless devastating late nights, she can only quietly sit in the bathroom and cry quietly.

A one-year-old mother is also a little crybaby.

As the child grows up day by day, the mother has passed the “crying bag” period and cares about the next step of the child’s growth. She earnestly urges the child to drink more milk, supplement nutrition, quickly grow tall; while secretly eating their favorite snacks. After being caught on the spot, she realized that the little one who needed to be held all the time was no longer good for “fooling.”

So, she had to put down the snacks, picked up the milk, and the child together “cheers.”

The five-year-old mother

Originally, the five-year-old mother was also a greedy “childish ghost.” However, the mother did not eat everything. In summer, at the daughter’s urging, the mother took a bite of the side of the chilled watermelon, but left the sweetest part for her daughter. “Mother does not like sweet food, you eat more.”

The ten-year-old mother

The ten-year-old mother will also be “picky.” As her daughter grew older and became more independent, her mother began to devote more energy to her career. She kept on exercising and working hard, and finally got something. She got great grades and became a role model for her colleagues. And she wanted to share them with her daughter for the first time.

The nineteen-year-old mother

The nineteen-year-old mother is a strong professional. On her wedding day, a daughter saw her mother in the mirror and jokingly laughed at the color of her lipstick. But her mother smiled mischievously and said, “I don’t think it’s enough!” The daughter is the most beautiful bride on her wedding day, and she also wants to be the most beautiful mother.

The thirty-year-old mother

Soon, her thirty-year-old daughter became a mother. At the same time, she’s also back to being one. Once, she had a mother the same age as herself; now she has become that same mother herself and continues her new journey in life.

Perhaps all along, we have misunderstood the mother, misunderstood the mother love. We tend to believe that the narrow definition of the word for a long time, stuck in the abstract description of the composition, but forget that they are actually individual and living souls.

Mother, mother, this is not a title that can only release love, but should be a companion that can grow with you. They are not that faceless middle-aged woman, but a life partner your own age.
