What makes a mum?

[mhynds]

I'm doing research into what makes a mum in our modern times. I would really appreciate if people could write 3 words that describe what a mum is?

Pay for advertising

Use correct forum

Currently a student at university therefore do not have funds to afford mass research. Would have thought people might have been able to take 2 minutes out of their time to help someone. It's easier to write 3 words down then come back with some sarcastic comment. If you do not want to take part then it is your own decision, just ignore the post.
Thank you

Well, make it up then.

OP - perhaps if you made it clear in your opening post that you are a student etc etc the you wouldn't be greeted with sarcasm. Often reporters post here for articles hence correct forums. If you'd then put, sorry I am a student and need it for blah blah blah, again people might post. However coming back with a shitty attitude does you no favours

Here you go then OP. A mum is "on your side" or "there for you".

Listens.

Drives.

Pays.

Supportive
Nagging(!)
Loving

Good luck with your uni research. x

Depends on the day!
today:
patience
deep breaths
lots of wine!!!

no seriously:

unconditional love
thick skinned
Flexible

I think this is a tough question as it changes with the needs and age of your children, I guess therefore an ability to adapt to change is pretty essential. As you can tell I am not good at three words always tend to waffle sorry, I'll stop now.
I would genuinly like to know what others think though, its an interesting thread. oops forgot to stop.
