A mother is a child’s first best friend, first teacher, first fashion icon and designer, first playmate, first hairdresser, and the first woman who first thought of her child so amazingly. A child is a mom’s #1 fan, her treasure, her sunshine and her storm, someone that she will protect at all cost, a younger version of herself, her anchor that will keep her grounded and strong. Together, they surge through life spreading love and courage. However, a mother and child relationship isn’t all unicorns and rainbows. Sometimes, it can be complicated just like any other relationship. It is quite difficult to explain, so we have prepared 20 mother and child quotes to walk you through what a mother and child relationship is.
