Default Re: Is "a" needed here?

Thanks to both of you for your informative answer. But I've just developed some confusion that why, then, we use: "Mother is feeding her baby." " Father is drinking coffee." " Life is difficult." "Teacher will show you..."
Question: Why do we use these four coloured words without any article even though they are countable and they are introduced for the first time in the sentence.
