A mother's job is never complete. She plays so many different roles that it truly blows our minds to think about just how much she does in one day.
There are chores around the house, work responsibilities, and most important of all, taking care of you. Sometimes, she even manages to squeeze in some me-time to do something she loves.
The days are long, but mums take things in stride, and are already planning ahead. It's no wonder that her mind is never at rest, even right before she goes to sleep. But what exactly do our mothers think about?
We got curious and asked some Malaysian mums to tell us the last 3 things they thought about before bed last night
Note: The mums sent us their bedtime thoughts and we wrote them down on their behalf. Some of the personal details have been changed for privacy.
