A mother is a biological and/or social female parent of an offspring. [1] Because of the complexity and differences of a mothers' social, cultural, and religious definitions and roles, it is challenging to define a mother to suit a universally accepted definition. In the case of a mammal such as a human, a pregnant woman gestates a fertilized ovum. A fetus develops from the viable fertilised ovum or "embryo". Gestation occurs in the woman's uterus from conception until (assuming the fetus is carried to term) the fetus is sufficiently developed to be born. The woman experiences labor and gives birth. Usually, once the baby is born, the mother produces milk via the lactation process. The mother's breast milk is the source of anti-bodies for the infant's immune system and commonly the sole source of nutrition for the first year or more of the child's life.[2][3][4] A surrogate mother is, commonly, a woman who bears the embryo to term for a couple biologically unable to have children. Upon the child’s birth, the surrogate mother surrenders all her rights and responsibilities to the child[5] with sole intention of surrendering the infant to at least one of the biological parents.[6][7] The term mother is often given to a woman other than the biological parent, especially if she who fulfills the main social role in raising the child. This is commonly either an adoptive mother or a stepmother (the biologically unrelated wife of a child's father). In lesbian cultures, a non-biological mother, or so-called "othermother" exists.
Currently, with advances in reproductive technologies, the function of biological motherhood can be split between the genetic mother (who provides the ovum) and the gestational (commonly known as a surrogate) mother (who carries the pregnancy), and it is also poneither will serve as the social mother (the one who rears the child). A healthy connection between a mother and a child form a secure base, from which the child may later venture forth into the world.[8]

3. Birds That Amuse and Entertain
November 20, 2009
Recently my 89 year old mother came to live with us permanently. She has clouded vision, mild dementia and isn't about to do the things that always kept her busy, cooking, gardening, reading, crossword puzzles, etc.
We reserved a chair in our "sunroom" for her. If anyone else sits in it, she gets worried that she's sitting in someone else's seat. So we all try to stay clear of it so she can be assured it's hers alone. Right by that seat is a window. We've afixed a bird feeder to the window that can be purchased in any bird supply store - like co-ops, specialized bird stores, catalogues, e... (read more)
