According to Objectivism, a person's own life and happiness is the ultimate good. To achieve happiness requires a morality of rational selfishness, one that does not give undeserved rewards to others and that does not ask them for oneself.
I don't know how well this works for mothers. You see we have this problem. Children are born dependent on their parents. For the first several years of a child's life, someone must care for the child 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. How do the needs of a child fit into putting one's self first?
