Just as a mother bears a child during pregnancy, and just as a mother feeds and cares for a child during infancy, so mothers also play an ongoing role in the lives of their children, whether they are adolescents, teenagers, young adults, or even adults with children of their own.
Vile mama anavyomzaa mtoto wakati wa uja uzito, na kama vile mama anavyomnyonyesha na kumlea mtoto akiwa mchanga, kwa hivyo wamama wanatekeleza jukumu linaloendelea katika maisha ya watoto wao, hata kama wamefika umri wa kubalehe, ujana, na utu uzima au utu uzima wakiwa na watoto wao.
