This narrative study explored the experiences of middle-aged mothers with kindergarten learners in Batan, focusing on their challenges and coping strategies. Eight middle-aged mothers were purposively selected based on specific inclusion criteria. Data were collected using open-ended interview guide questions, audio recordings, and handwritten notes, and were analyzed using Colaizzi’s method. Findings revealed that middle-aged mothers with kindergarten learners struggle to balance their roles as mothers, particularly in supporting their children’s education, managing socio-economic challenges, and adjusting their personal identity. They experience stress related to their children's health, behavior, and education, compounded by societal discrimination, financial strain, and physical and emotional demands. To cope, these mothers establish routines, practice self-care, and seek support from family and community members, which helps them manage the pressures of motherhood and effectively fulfill their various responsibilities.
