Write about mother (your own or someone else's).
I was never very close to my mother. Neither of my parents, really, but I think I got along slightly better with my father. Perhaps that would have changed, had they survived long enough for me to become an adult, but I doubt it. Although I will admit that I like having my father around now, even if he is annoyingly young. Both tried far too hard to make me someone I could never be, and my mother was rather pissy on top of that. It's no wonder I didn't mind living away at school. Don't get me wrong; I loved my mother, but that doesn't mean I liked her much.
Unfortunately, having a poor mother figure I didn't see much means that I have almost no idea how to be a mother. Yes, I know what not to do, but I can't raise my daughter based on that. And while I can governess quite well, it's not the same thing; fortunately it's close enough that I won't be completely in the dark. I suppose I could hire nurses and governesses, which is likely expected of me, but I won't. I grew up largely without a mother, and I will not allow that to happen to my daughter. Besides, one can only imagine the trouble a child of personifications could get into; I already know she will be able to manipulate time, for one thing. No, it's best for her to have her parents around, even if we have no bloody clue what we should be doing. I'm sure we'll figure it out eventually.
