"I spent Mother’s Day weekend with 5 of my 6 children," wrote Madonna in the caption.
"Sunshine laughter, horseback riding. soccer, and the sound of music! The best gift they gave me was the gift of not arguing and being loving to one another. When you raise children to be unique and opinionated, you also create your own debate team!!!"

Madonna often shares her thoughts on parenting and how challenging it is. In a 2023 profile with Vanity Fair she revealed that parenting "has been the most difficult, the hardest battle." She revealed that one of the biggest struggles for her is to be a mother while also maintaining a time-consuming career.
"No one gives you a manual. You have to learn from mistakes," she said. "It is a profession that requires a lot of time. And it is exhausting because there is never rest."
