What a mum wants? That is the 64 thousand dollar question isnt it?

For the last 24 hours I have been dealing with a vomiting child. I appreciate that this isn't the best thing to visualise, especially when it has gone EVERYWHERE but I remain thankful for my leather sofa and only wish I had had some laminate tile flooring which would have been much easier to clean than the carpet! But I digress. 

So what does a Mum want? I think it changes as your role does.

If you ask a pregnant mum, she will probably say that she wants a healthy baby and a good birth.

If you ask a new mum, she will most likely say that she wants a good nights sleep.

If you ask a second time mum, she may say that she wants her children to get along.

If you ask a mum of a toddler, she might say she would like to get rid of the nappies.

If you ask a mum of a teenager, she might be inclined to say a good nights sleep (for a whole other array of reasons).

If you ask the mum of a sick child, she will pray for good health and a speedy recovery.

If you ask an elderly mum, she may just want someone to hold her hand and to listen to her stories.

On reflection, what a Mum wants, doesn't need 64 thousand dollars, it is just the little things, the heartfelt things ...... or for me today, the things that make dealing with a poorly child, just that little bit easier.
