Poll: What do you call your mother?

Mam/mum/ma/mom’s the word today.

JUST IN CASE you haven’t heard, it’s Mothers Day.

Mothers around the country will be waking up to breakfast in bed which (depending on the age of your children) means soggy cornflakes, burnt toast and weak tea…delicious.

If the term ‘mam’ is the only one that works for you, you’ll know the struggle of finding a card with the right word on it for today.

So, for the day that’s in it, we wanted to ask you: What do you call your mother?
