Quote by Pearl Buck

Some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but it is love just the same -- and most mothers kiss and scold together.

Some are kissing mothers and some are scolding mothers, but

Summary

This quote highlights the contrasting yet inseparable nature of a mother's love. It suggests that mothers can have different approaches in their parenting style; some may be affectionate and nurturing (represented by kissing), while others may be disciplinary and strict (represented by scolding). However, no matter the style, it emphasizes that both actions come from a place of love. Furthermore, it implies that most mothers strike a balance between these approaches, recognizing the importance of both tenderness and discipline in raising their children.
