No matter who you are, being a parent is a tough job. There’s no one definitive playbook for how to best love and guide your kids.
And mothers are frequently the ones to care and nurture us, to keep us in line when it matters and to expose us to different people and places.
The former U.S. Surgeon General said last year that parental stress is a significant public health issue. But we know that, in addition to the challenges, there are a lot of joys that come with motherhood.
There are opportunities for creating stronger connections, for providing and maybe sometimes receiving care and for expanding love.
And as Mother’s Day is coming up, we’re looking at what a day in the life of a mom is like. Today on The Metro, two mothers from different places in our region share their perspective on motherhood and what it means to them.
Ambra Redrick runs the nonprofit Teen Hype in Detroit. She has two biological daughters and her husband has two children that she helps raise as well. Lori Goldman is a mom of four.
Listen to The Metro weekdays from 10 a.m. to noon ET on 101.9 FM and streaming on-demand.
