63.5% of American Women are Mommy’s Girls at Heart MedeliaMonitor and MomsTown confirm Mother-Daughter ties are stronger than ever

Hollywood FL (PRWEB) May 7, 2006 -- Nearly 50% of US Women speak to their Mothers every day and 1/3 of Women would not change a thing about their relationship with Mom according a recent survey conducted by the MedeliaMonitor. In a world where time is scarce and women barely have time to brush their teeth, its comforting that the majority of women questioned would actually want to spend more time with Mom (35.9%) above and 25% of women said that would not change a thing about their Mothers as they believe she is their role model!

With so much media hype about the overbearing, critical mother, the reality is that less than 20% would like her to really listen without criticizing, a percentage expected to be much higher. As so few felt their Mom over criticized it also makes sense that less than 25% of respondent’s felt mom was too controlling on major life issues such as parenting, marriage and finances. Perhaps after years of self-help relationship books and studies, Moms have finally got the message and learnt when enough is enough.

In observance of Mother’s Day, the MedeliaMonitor, The Voice of Women in America a national women’s research company, in partnership with MomsTown from the Dr.Phil show, surveyed over 10,000 women on Mother and Daughter relationships with surprising and heartening results. What makes their relationship successful? Nearly 50% of women claimed the time they spend together just talking. Having established that Mother-Daughter relationships are very much in tact and in the spirit of the occasion, The Monitor asked what Mother's Day means to them? Nearly 90% stated that Mother’s Day is not so much a time for oneself (as a Mom) but a time to pamper their Mom and or Grand mom. Bring on the love.
