But mothers lie. It's in the job description.

Summary

This quote suggests that mothers have a tendency to lie as part of their role. It implies that, in order to protect and care for their children, mothers may sometimes choose to withhold or alter the truth. This can be viewed as a form of love and sacrifice, as their intentions are rooted in safeguarding their children's well-being. Given the many complexities and difficulties inherent in the parenting role, lying may be seen as a strategy employed by mothers to navigate and shield their children from certain realities or harmful experiences.
