5. What are the duties that we have towards our mother?
Answer We have numerous duties and responsibilities towards our mother. A mother’s love and sacrifice for her child know no bounds. We should always keep her happy by obeying her and respecting her choices. We should return the same or even more love and care that she gave us in our childhood. In her old age, we must take care of her. We should never shout at her or hurt her in any way. Above all, we must keep her happy by any means.
