How to Choose a Gift For Your Wife or Your Mom 

Do you have a hard time trying to figure out what to buy your mom, or your wife? My husband says I'm very hard to buy for, obviously for my Christmas gift he went to Home Depot and the Future Shop. So I thought I'd give you some tips on how to find the perfect gift for the mom in your life.
  • Do Not look for a gift at Home Depot, Future Shop or any store males love to shop in.
  • Make a list of her hobbies or collectibles. Search in stores that sell these types of items.
  • Make a list of sports she likes, is she a golfer, walker, biker or skiier?
  • Take a look in her house, make a mental list of what she already has and remove it from the list
  • Check her closet to see what size she wears, what colour her clothes are, and what style she prefers
  • Is she practical? If so what kitchen item may she need? Glasses, mugs, cutlery, or knives?
  • What is her favorite flower, colour, author, tv show, game, movie, musician, or artist? Find the latest thing that fits into her favorites list.

On Being a Mother 

They say being a mother is a thankless job and I have to disagree. Everytime my children say "I Love You" they are saying thank you for everything I do.

I am fortunate to hear the words "I Love You" lots, my children are still young. As they grow I am expecting to hear these words less and less, which makes me sad, to say the least.

Mom's need to be reminded that they are loved and that what they do for you matters. The more love we get, the more we will do for you. Mom's will sacrifice what they want to give their children everything they want. All we ask in return is to hear "I Love You" every once in awhile.

Category: Image - :Daisy Romwall from Morro Bay, United States.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Mother and child

A mother is a biological and/or social female parent of an offspring. In the case of a mammal such as a human, the biological mother gestates a fertilized ovum, which is called first an embryo, and then a fetus. This gestation occurs in the mother's uterus from conception until the fetus is sufficiently developed to be born. The mother then goes into labor and gives birth. Once the child is born, the mother produces milk in a process called lactation to feed the child; often the mother's breast milk is the child's sole nourishment for the first year or more of the child's life.

The title mother is often given to a woman other than the biological parent, if it is she who fulfills the social role. This is most commonly either an adoptive mother or a stepmother (the biologically unrelated wife of a child's father). Also, in both African-American and lesbian cultures non-biological othermothers exist. Currently, with advances in reproductive technologies, the function of biological motherhood can be split between the genetic mother (who provides the ovum) and the gestational mother (who carries the pregnancy), and in theory neither might be the social mother (the one who brings up the child). A healthy connection between a mother and a child form a secure base, from which the child may later venture forth into the world.Diane S. Feinberg, M.Ed. The Importance of Mother and Child Attachment

Mothers have historically fulfilled the primary role in the raising of children, but since the late 20th century, the role of the father in child care has been given greater prominence in most Western countries. "In most Western countries the family model of a sole male breadwinner is in full retreat." Accessed 19 September 2007.Why Are Fathers Important? Interview with Dr. Ross Parke, professor of psychology at the University of California at Riverside, author of Fatherhood (1966) and co-author of Throwaway Dads (1999). Accessed 19 September 2007.

The experience of motherhood varies greatly depending upon location. The organization Save the Children has ranked the countries of the world, and found that Scandinavian countries are the best places to be a mother, whereas countries in sub-Saharan Africa are the worst.Save the Children, [http://www.savethechildren.net/alliance/what_we_do/newsdesk/2006-05-08b.html State of the World's Mothers Report 2006]. A mother in the bottom 10 countries is over 750 times more likely to die in pregnancy or childbirth, compared to a mother in the top 10 countries, and a mother in the bottom 10 countries is 28 times more likely to see her child die before reaching his or her first birthday.
