Mother's Day Guilt: Nearly a Quarter of Us Admit We Don't Call Her Enough

Here's some early Mother's Day guilt:  How often do you call your mom?  And is it enough?

 

 

22% of people in an early Mother's Day poll said they don't call Mom as much as they should.  The average is once a week.  

 

 

Here are a few more stats from the survey . . .

 

 

1.  How often do you make your mom feel appreciated?  The average answer was less than twice a month.  The top ways we do it are by spending time with her or just saying, "I love you."

 

 

2.  68% think they know their mom better than anyone else in her life.

 

3.  70% worry their mom has too much on her plate, and 67% think she spends too much time worrying about other people's needs.

 

 

4.  Massages are a popular Mother's Day gift.  But moms were asked what the "perfect self-care day" would include, and a massage only ranked fifth.

 

 

#1 on the list is getting to SLEEP IN.  Then it's getting her hair done . . . having someone else cook . . . listening to music . . . and getting a massage.

 

 

Rounding out the Top 10 are getting her nails done . . . going for a walk . . . reading . . . catching up on TV . . . and taking a nice, long bath.

 

 

5.  Just leaving her alone might be a nice gift too.  39% of moms said they get less than one hour of 'me time' each day.
