FAQ About Moms and Motherhood We never seem to give enough credit to our moms. Our moms went through so much pain and hard work to bring us into this world. Our mothers are a big deal and we owe it to them to show how much we care about them. We should do something to tell them how much we love them. Even when we don’t always show our appreciation, they still show us support and love. Did People Give Their Moms Gifts in the Past?It's been customary across many cultures to give gifts to mothers.

Nevertheless, across cultures, mothers are often gifted items that help with their daily routines. Has the Idea of Being a Mom Changed?Yes, depending on the culture. As more and more women have entered the workforce, traditional motherhood roles have been shaken up. More and more women are having less children and spending more one on one time with each child. That said, there's no one way to be a great mom and every culture is different. Some cultures have been historically matriarchal, while some are patriarchal (many are somewhere in between).

I have emotion issues and anxiety, which makes it extremely hard for me to show any love towards people I'm especially close to, hence my mother. I was such a crap child this past month. On her 40th birthday I was too anxious to even make her a god damn card! Then on Mother's Day I was at my dads so I could do no more than a text! I feel unbelievably awful because she's an amazing woman and I love her so unbelievably much. I'm going to try the ones I can, she means the world to me and her mentioning that she's feeling down because of some of this makes me feel like the absolute worst child I'm existance. magy on May 04, 2018: is that 50! Carlotta on April 13, 2018: Hi My mum becomes quite, I cannot actually think of the word, but it may come to you. She doesn’t like being pampered by me or waited on and can get annoyed if I wasn’t to wash up after dinner as a sign of my appreciation. I try to take her out and I lasys need a reason. I cannot take her out just because to spend time with her. She thinks I’m trying to save her from Dad who relies on her heavily, just the set up, it’s very old school, the man and woman’s roles are clearly defined. He is very much served, I like to try give her a break from waiting on him hand and foot. This upsets her. I just need some insight and help. There’s no way I can organize a girls weekend away to just spend time with her because she refuses to leave dad alone. He’s not fragile just likes being served. He’s worked hard and deserves TLC it’s just restricting. please help Daniel J. on April 12, 2018: Thx so much! My mom was very sad, and she was elated after that. Thanks soooo much!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I show emotions and facial expressions? Ray on December 17, 2017: Randy, I think you should talk to a really close friend adult and ask them for help or I’m pretty sure your school hast psychologist, you could go and get advice from them instead of searching unhelpful stuff online. I’m not saying these ideas are unhelpful but I personally can’t use them because we don’t usually talk with my mother and I because of it almost every night, well that’s another story. So I think you should go see a professional. Princess on September 17, 2017: What if you are a young child. Annabella on July 29, 2017: If you are a student, like I am, you could produce good results. Work hard and don't disappoint her. You know, sometimes hugging isn't a good way. I did that and she still says I don't love her. Or maybe she is pretending. I don't know.

Robin Mercer from Arizona on April 15, 2015: Tenaya, I am sorry you are going through this. Building a new house is very stressful, but it sounds like something else may be wrong with your mum. If this is still going on, tell your dad. Maybe she needs rest, vitamins or even medicine. When you see she is upset, ask her what you can do to help. If she yells at you and carries on, don't blame yourself! Play with your siblings and help out, but don't try to fix her. Make sure you tell your dad so you can all help her get better Tenaya Marks on March 29, 2015: Hi my name is Tenaya and I need some advice, I am 11 years old and my mum is 32 and we have recently built a new house and we have had a lot of problems and it has been a bumpy ride.
