My mom is the most incredible example of this! She is so happy to be home, home with her kids. Growing up, she would always squeeze me so tight and express to me how sad she was that summer was coming to an end. I have heard most mom's express the exact opposite. They are thrilled and counting down the moments for their kids to get back into school to give the mom a little extra freedom.
I was so blessed to have a mom that didn't see it that way. She found JOY in being a mom. It is what she looked forward to, It is what she planned her day around, we were the center of her world. I can't even tell you the security and love I have as an adult because of a mom that cherished her role and a father that honored his role.
It takes effort, but it is possible for every mother to enjoy what they do. And feel complete! Not needing or aspiring for anything more than the noblest of them all, a MOTHER!
