“We need to remember that the full commitment of motherhood and of
putting children first can be difficult. Through my own four-generation
experience in our family, and through discussions with mothers of young
children throughout the Church, I know something of a mother’s emotions
that accompany her commitment to be at home with young children. There
are moments of great joy and incredible fulfillment, but there are also
moments of a sense of inadequacy, monotony, and frustration. Mothers may
feel they receive little or no appreciation for the choice they have
made. Sometimes even husbands seem to have no idea of the demands upon
their wives.
“As a Church, we have enormous respect and gratitude to you mothers of
young children. We want you to be happy and successful in your families
and to have the validation and support you need and deserve.”
- M. Russell Ballard
