A mother has a lot of faces

A mother has a lot of faces, such as a mother's face, a wife's face, and a woman's face. Also she would have a career woman's face if she has a job. Which face do you like best? I like all of them now. However, when I was an elementary school student, I did not like, or I could not accept any of those faces except that of the mother's.
My mother had a job, and she was not at home most of the time when I got home. Thus, I always dropped in at my friend's house or went to the park which was on my way home. I did not go home straight since I knew I would become lonely with no one at home, and I hated the "key sound" (the sound which we make when we turn the key) when I opened the front door.
I think a mother should stay home as much as she can and talk as much as she can with their children while they are not old enough. And when they do become old enough, then, the mother can do whatever she wants. Consequently, I guess this is the ideal mother who can talk with us as a woman or as a friend.
