Granted, I am not from the West Midlands, but I have visited there many times, and have never heard 'mom' used instead of mum. I'm wondering if this is either of POV pushing (I'm not sure how, but anyway....), or perhaps a mistaken opinion due to the accent? Is there anyone from the area who can actually confirm or refute that the non-UK version is used? It seems odd and unlikely. Sky83 ( talk) 13:20, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Sky83 is absolutely correct "Mom" is NEVER used anywhere in the Midlands be it West (such as Worcestershire), East (Leicestershire) or any of the Metropolitan towns such as Birmingham/Coventry. If anything, "Mam" is used. With family and friends in the aforementioned towns as well as Harrogate and Lincoln and, as a Brit, I can definitely say that the only place I've heard "Mom" used is in North America. The "add on" sentence should be removed. -- Stepneygirl ( talk) 00:59, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
I, however, grew up in the Midlands and frequently heard "mom" in place of "mum" - especially in the West Midlands where I regularly saw it written as "mom", too. IndieSinger ( talk) 19:31, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Just wanted to add a further confirmation as someone that grew up in the West Midlands that the most common pronunciation and spelling, at least in the Black Country, is mom. 79.79.183.12 ( talk) 23:22, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
I've lived in Stoke and Birmingham and mom is certainly never used there, so usage must be very localised within the West Midlands region. I won't modify the article but I'm going to add a citation request. -- Ef80 ( talk) 13:30, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
Do you think Mom is an American word for Mum and that the latter is the correct spelling in England? Think again. The word Mom is widely used in the Midlands.
"Mom and Mommy are old-English words, words that are stilled used in Birmingham and most parts of the West Midlands, we all use the term Mom and Mommy never Mum or Mummy, as here the correct spelling is Mom and Mommy has been for hundreds and hundreds of years, when people from the West Midlands went to America all those years ago they took our correct spelling with them, hence they use Mom and Mommy and we still do in the West Midlands. Here in the West Midlands the words Mum and Mummy are frowned upon as they look and sound wrong, thankfully our local schools teach our correct spelling of Mom and Mommy and the kids still come home with handmade cards with out correct Mom and Mommy Spelling on.
I believe parts of Scotland use the Mom and Mommy term too, as I have relatives there and whenever I visit them, they and the people I visit or see use the term Mom too, however I'm not sure how widespread its use is.
We in Birmingham and the West Midlands get annoyed when people wrongly think we are using American words, when the word Mom and Mommy aren't American they were British to start with, it's just unlike the West Midlands other areas changed their spelling."

Social Motherhood (must be view from the position of the child) and is not instinctual but it is a acquired skill & ability employing feminine human abilities,,,,,,,,it is not a sexually dependent Human function or ability, there is no scientific / reasoning assertion that it is, religious and cultural conflict over this and all make exceptions allowing traditional Family role reversal today .

{{ edit semi-protected}} I would like to begin to add a section about Lesbian mothers and motherhood. I have more information about other issues relating to this topic but this is the first section so far
Lesbian Motherhood, these two terms are usually at odd against each other. Lesbian vs. Mother, you are either one or the other. The possibility for Lesbians to become Mothers has increased over the past few decades thanks to new techniques and technology. The revolution of motherhood through the Lesbian perspective originally occurred with women who were in a heterosexual relationship and later identify as lesbian. Another way for lesbians to become mothers is by choosing adoption and/or being fostering parents. There is also the option of self-insemination and clinically assisted donor insemination, these are forms of artificial insemination. As technology has advanced it has allowed more Lesbians to become mothers through In vitro fertilization. [1]. [2].
Example
Just in this last year a movie called The Kids Are All Right (2010) looked at the dynamics of lesbian motherhood and the issues that can arise around insemination and the decision to know the sperm donor. The more the public is exposed to Lesbian Mothers and see how they are like any other mother, the more possibility for understanding and inclusion into society structures.
Social Standing
Lesbian Mothers are currently held lower in relation to other mothers within the social hierarchy partly due to the fact that it is threating to the socially constructed ideas of motherhood. It is the married, white, heterosexual mother who is held at the top of the pyramid. Followed by single mothers, teenage mothers, and foster mothers, who are all considered marginally accepted versus lesbian mothers who are left off. [2]. There is the argument that Lesbian Mothers are “unnatural” because they do not have children through heterosexual relations out of love, which is considered “normal”. They are also seen as unnatural because of the preconceived ideas of whom a lesbian is and who a mother is and that these stereotypes do not go together. As society becomes more aware of Lesbian Mothers and the further stereotypes are addressed that are restricting motherhood from their acceptance, the more socially accepted Lesbian Motherhood may become.

The more the public is exposed to Lesbian Mothers and see how they are like any other mother, the more possibility for understanding and inclusion into society structures.
Parenting roles in a heterosexual couple is divided between the mother and father but in Lesbian relationship the parenting roles become more united. It is often referred to as co-parenting in which there is less emphasis on the biological mother and a shared caregiver role. In many co-parents they referred to themselves as ‘parents’ rather than ‘mothers’ and the mother was often used to refer specifically to the birth mother [4]. Often times the parenting roles of Lesbian couples are assumed to directly simulate the heterosexual “traditional" roles of mother and father, when in actuality there is a shift away from this towards a transformative model [4]. In these new family structures the role of the sperm donor must be negotiated in terms of whether they will be a part of the child’s life and take part in the parenting. The donor may be included and see the child on a more frequent basis, possibly a few times in one year or not at all.
It has been noted that Lesbian couples have many strengths resulting from the way they structure their parenting such as flexible gender roles, teaching tolerance and acceptance of diversity, and extended supportive kinship network that creates many role models for the kids [5]. Yet there are critics saying Lesbian-headed families are not able to raise children appropriately because there is a lack of or no father figure in the child’s life and it will be harmful to them [3]. Myths about Lesbian mothers parenting abilities include that they fear the kids will be gay when they grow up in a Lesbian–headed household which is negative in terms of the masculine heterosexual dominant society.
Many institutional barriers have been put into place to stop Lesbians from becoming mothers particularly because they are threaten the way traditional family structure by creating their own unique family structure [6]. This includes restrictions on adoptions and fostering abilities, custody rights of the child and even the exclusion from reproductive technologies available such as in-vitro fertilization and clinical insemination [6].

Arnation ( talk) 07:44, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
I find the last paragraph in the "Social Role" section problematic. It states that: "Also around the 1970s, Western attitudes towards the role of women and mothers in society began to change. Females were given more opportunities within the workforce and this resulted in more females becoming mothers for the first time at a later age. This trend peaked within the 1990s, but has since returned to a more traditional view point of fathers being the main breadwinner and mothers taking responsibility for the home and children."
Although some the first part is pretty uncontroversial, the claim that the trend peaked in the 1990s is not sufficiently substantiated.
The evidence given for the 1990s peak is a single article which only deals with Australia. I would therefore suggest to either
(PS. I know that "traditional" is habitually used as a shorthand for the "breadwinner dad/stay at home mom" model, but is this in fact a neutral/fitting/accurate term? Is it, in other words, actually "traditional" that men are "main breadwinners" or is it only "traditional" in the context of the "modern, middle class, Western, nuclear family"?)
Mojowiha ( talk) 07:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Also, the assertion that 'Females were given more opportunities within the workforce and this resulted in more females becoming mothers for the first time at a later age.' ignores the role of the introduction and widespread adoption of birth control (in particular
'the pill') which provided the opportunity to postpone pregnancy until later in life, and thus increasing the chances of a non-domestic career for women. And it is important to remember that working class (not to mention agricultural) women often had to be part of the workforce due to the inability of one wage to support a family, without this necessarily leading to later motherhood. So the mono-causal explanation of more working women = later motherhood is at least an oversimplification.
This last paragraph in particular is woefully under-sourced, so please expand it both in length and with regards to references.
Mojowiha ( talk) 09:01, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
The previous definition, "A mother ... is a woman who has conceived ... a child " was inaccurate given that many pregnancies do not result in a live baby (whether through miscarriage or intentional termination) and many women who have conceived would not consider themselves (and would not be considered by anyone else) a "mother".
The sole citation for this definition was from allwords.com, not an especially reliable (and certainly not a scholarly) source, and it was a verbatim copy of only one of the definitions on the cited page. I have added three more sources, two of them unquestionably reliable (i.e. the Oxfords). -- TyrS chatties 01:30, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Could someone please change the picture at the top of the "Mother" page? While "Migrant Mother" is a famous photo, it conveys a sense of sadness rather than joy. The picture at the top of this page should evoke a sense of maternal contentment and fulfillment. As it stands, the picture gives a bad impression of motherhood. As if it is a constant pain and heartache. My mother is very upset about this impression and asked me to request this photo to be changed to something more suitable.

While our documented practice is that new topics start new sections at the bottom of the page (and old topics continue in their respective same sections), we sometimes see a continuation of a discussion in a separate section with at most a shift in emphasis. This page's 7 sections comprise about four topics, and in this edit i am converting several sections into subsections of one or the other of two sections, to reunite the somewhat scattered parts of the corresponding topics.

The word "Mama", with only slight derivations (and always meaning ones mother), is one of only a handful of words that are used in every known human language. This has been theorized to be due to it being a word from the original root human language (first language used by humans) that is theorized to be the ancestor of all other African, European, Asian, Australian-Aboriginal, Native American and Polynesian languages. All human languages are believed to be descended from this original "proto-language".
Another theory holds that the universal use of "Mama", or very slight derivations, is because it may be hard-wired into the brains of all baby humans. 208.54.86.132 ( talk) 13:59, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

While i'm afraid i can't offer any more verifying reference than the preceding 4 advocates for having the article cover the linguistic observation(s), i recently heard on NPR the assertion that as the motor nervous system develops, M is the first consonant (or was it in fact the first phoneme of any kind?) that comes under enuf control for the child to start the process of treating adults' responses to its vocalizations as reward stimuli and thus of acquiring conditioned vocal responses to specific landmarks in its environment. Since the mum is the most salient landmark for the vast majority of infants, it would be bizarre if the first sufficiently distinct sound were not the one to get attached to her.
<sickhumor> Does anyone have data on the results of echoing back to an infant each of its uses of P, and not echoing M until the child has attached a no-consonants-but-Ps term to something? (I thot i recalled that B.F. Skinner or E. R. Guthrie had said "every psychologist should have a dog and a child", but my searches strike out.)</sickhumor>

the only picture that does not specify race is the one of a blond mother and baby. that's pretty one-sided, suggesting that the blonds are the default and everyone else is somehow not.
i'd use a picture that is verifiable, and add in a descriptor (America, Swiss, Aryan, Caucasian, etc.). that would seem far more fair, or pull the descriptors form a few other pictures to balance it out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.54.53.166 ( talk) 15:26, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
