I can't give my daughter my whole world no matter how much I love her, and I don't need her to be too grateful to me because being a good mother to her is mostly because of my own need.

And being a mum need no courage because I am a born mom. I love my daughter the same as I love myself.

I will read the link later.

Thanks for sharing the chapter with us.  I agree with it in some ways but mother's instinct is to love her children unconditionally,mother sacrifices anything for her child, maybe seen by other people those women looks  miserable but mother enjoys it. I am my mum's only child she gives me her whole world , I am so grateful I have a mum like this and she will always be the most important person for my  whole life.

 Deceding being a Mum need a lot of courage, because automatically your  life center will be your child. But its also wonderful that you can know what kind of feeling when you love someone more than yourself unconditionally.
