That statement implies that your mother was a bad mother. I'm sorry. Being a mother is so much more than just creating another being. It also involves programming values and experiences into someone so that they can navigate the world.

Not parenting and child rearing broadly, whether that be by the father, adoptive parents or extended family and community that help nurture a child. (I’m hopeful this was mis-phrased by OP.)
