Mothers, take a break before you break

Earlier this week, I had a chat with a family friend, a lady. Sarah* is married with children, "two adorable boys," as she terms them. Both are in their early teens and can be cheeky at times, but she never seems to mind. She loves motherhood. "The boys, including their father, look after me," she says.

"Then you must be looking forward to Mother's Day, right?" I asked her. She paused and cast her glance to the dark skies pregnant with yet another downpour.
