Here is the “Motherhood” plot description:
From writer and director Katherine Dieckmann (the acclaimed filmmaker of “Diggers” and “A Good Baby”) comes “Motherhood,” which stars Uma Thurman, Anthony Edwards and Minnie Driver.
Shot entirely on location in New York’s West Village, this comedy distills the dilemmas of the maternal state – marriage, work, self and not necessarily in that order – into the trials and tribulations of one pivotal day.
Equal parts Mrs. Dalloway and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Motherhood” forms a genre of one. No other movie has dedicated itself in quite this way to probing exactly what it takes to be a mother with both wry humor and an acute sense of authenticity.
“Motherhood,” which is a humorous and poignant look at the daily challenges mothers everywhere face, is a hymn to the trials and joys of raising children and the necessity of not losing yourself in the process.

Motherhood
The biggest blessings of being a mother would be watching your children grow up before your eyes into responsible adults. The biggest burden would have to be making sure you have enough time for your children while still working, having a social life, and time to simply relax and unwind.
What are the biggest blessings and burdens of being a mother?
Having me as a son!
motherly
The biggest blessings of being a mother would be to see what you taught your kids reflected in becoming themselves as well as teavhing others right from wrong. The burdens of being a mother would be to make sure everyday your kid hasnt learned something that can turn that positive energy into a negative one
Biggest Motherhood Burden? The Teen Years!!
The biggest burden of being a mother would have to be trying to do what’s best for your child when they’re the common teenager that thinks they know EVERYTHING. Dealing with someone who is constantly fighting your good advice is tough.
Mother Dear
I’d imagine a mother’s blessings would be having children and knowing you’ve raised them well, but a burden would definitely be knowing that at some point growing up your kids will tell you they hate you after all you’ve done for them, but it becomes a blessing again when they’ve matured and finally understand that you did the things you did because you loved them.
The Biggest Blessing & Burden
of motherhood for me is honestly the weight of being charged with shaping another life.
Its both a blessing and a burden because on the one hand, there are really great positive aspects to it but on the other, there is the challenge to not be so overbearing because of the enormity of it that my kid does not have a chance to develop her own personality.
now that my kid is a teenager at moments the burdens definitely outweigh the blessings but i know that one day we will look back and be able to laugh at all the insanity.
being a mother
Is always a burden but is the best source of blessings that life could have.
Burdens is having to go to
Burdens is having to go to 15 different grocery stores to get the right foods & then our tastes change…same with clothes. You never know your capacity for love & abuse til you have a child
Motherhood
The biggest burden is getting up for feedings in the middle of the night and the blessing is the little person that you have brought into this world
blessings and burdens
Cherishing your growing family and also worrying about all of them at the same time.
