I got a press release that actually surveyed 500 moms on what they want for mother’s day.
There are signs that America is moving back to more traditional times and closer family relationships. As if to reflect this trend, when moms were asked what would make this Mother’s Day special, 46 percent said they would like to receive a card or gift made by their child, according to an online survey by Market Day. Twenty-four percent of moms would like breakfast in bed.
For the record, I do not want breakfast in bed. I want to go to the beach! Where’s the picnic basket? Let’s go!
One sentiment that most moms agree on is that the happiness surrounding Mother’s Day is not tied to economic considerations. When asked about their favorite Mother’s Day memories, 65 percent of moms indicated it was just having the family together, 31 percent enjoyed a homemade gift, and 14 percent recalled a favorite meal.
Yes, I agree with that. I like being together with the family. My favorite gift is a bracelet my oldest made when she was 4.
For the third year since Market Day fielded the survey, moms still do most of the cooking on their designated day. This year, 36 percent of moms will handle most of the cooking, and another 36 percent will get help in the kitchen from family members. Another 21 percent will receive assistance from a spouse or partner.
I don’t mind cooking, but someone else do the dishes, ok?
Do any other companies want to send me press releases and/or stuff to review? Catch me on Twitter @mommysite. Thanks!
