Holiday Greeting - The Joys and Doubts of Motherhood

May 11, 2017

Changing diapers, arranging play dates, driving car pools, calming squabbling siblings, attending musicals and sporting events, chaperoning proms, coaching teams, helping with college applications…moms have a lot of responsibilities. They also tend to be fairly critical about their performance as parents.

A 2015 survey from Pew Research found millennial mothers are the most confident group in regards to parenting performance. Here are the numbers:1

All moms: 51 percent say they are doing a very good job as a parent
Millennial moms: 57 percent say they are doing a very good job as a parent
Gen Xer moms: 48 percent say they are doing a very good job as a parent
Baby Boomer moms: 41 percent say they are doing a very good job as a parent

This Mother’s Day, let your mom know how great she’s doing. Celebrate all she does for you with an outing of her choice, a gift, a phone call, a social media salute, or a handmade card.

All of us wish moms a Happy Mother’s Day!
