Mom Says It Best: Be Prepared To Be Told You're Wrong

Patch readers are recalling the best advice their mothers ever gave them in our extended celebration of Mother's Day 2021.

BEACHWOOD, OH — Being a mother means being told you're wrong...a lot.

That's what Danuelle DeMartino's mother told her years ago. It was a sage warning.

"The day my daughter was born my mom told me, " From this moment on, you will never be right again." Twenty-three years later it's still true. Someone is always telling you that you're doing something wrong with your children and then your children grow up and they tell you you're wrong."
