WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MOMS

While all of these statements may not be true of every mom, chances are most of them are true about your mother.

*Moms are more than waitresses, house cleaners, and chauffeurs.

*Moms need someone to listen to how their day went.

*Moms want to be involved in their kids’ lives.

*Moms’ smiles sometimes cover hurt or sadness.

*Moms can tell when something is wrong and a good talk is needed.

*Moms will always be there, no matter how bad things get.

*Moms hate it when kids try to come between them and their husband.           

*Moms have a hard time letting themselves be sick.

*Moms need a life, too.

*Moms love it when you remember details like this:

            A Gallup survey (February, 1990) found that men were identified by 74 percent of the respondents as the most likely spouse to handle minor home repairs, and by 63 percent as the spouse most likely to do yard work.  Women, on the other hand, were more likely to do all or most of the laundry (79 percent), care for the children when they are sick (72 percent), clean the house (69 percent), wash the dishes (68 percent), and pay the bills (65 percent).  They were viewed as the spouse more likely to be the primary discipliner of the children...On balance, it does appear that the typical mother is likely to endure more than equal share of the parenting load.
