Many do live entirely for their children, and lose their own identity. However, there's nothing wrong with introducing yourself as ____'s mother if it's someone that knows your child but not you. It doesn't mean that parent is automatically defining themselves based on their child.
I honestly worry for the parents that lose their own identities. When they're children leave the nest (which inevitably happens in most cases) they become lost. I've noticed parents like these often become the overbearing and meddlesome in laws.

I recently parted ways with a former friend. She never has anything to say about herself, it's all her daughter's doings. Whenever she would talk to me, it was all about what her daughter and her daughter's friends were doing, what they liked to eat, what they wore to go clubbing, etc. When she called me to tell me her daughter was going to get laid, I had to draw the line.
Eww... that's gross. I had a mom I was friends with that decided to tell me her son was getting laid. I didn't talk to her much after that. :-\
I don't much blame you!

I later found that this friend had major boundary issues. She even rang me to tell me that her daughter was flying out to Colorado for her "first time." I asked if her daughter knew she was telling me this, and she assured me that her daughter didn't mind!
