Editor's Note: What makes your mom great?

"I was home a great deal, (but) I was working sometimes, and I always had a lot of guilt about that. I gave myself an incredibly hard time about work. If there’s anything I wish I could look back on and change about my life, it’s that I wish I hadn’t given myself such a hard time.”
 – Kyra Sedgwick

No good mom has it easy.

Motherhood is hard. It’s messy. Sometimes it’s gross. It requires an enormous amount of energy on a miniscule amount of sleep and endless reserves of patience, organization and creativity.

And it’s a fantastic job.
