Giving Mom a hand

May 5, 1999

Sunday is Mother's Day in the US. So how will you let Mom know how much she means to you? Roses and lunch at swanky restaurants are standard options.

But why not give her a hand with some of her least favorite chores? There will be plenty of time, (after you give her breakfast in bed, that is).

Here's a list of chores many mothers would most love to give up:

*Dusting, vacuuming, or general cleaning - 32%

*Washing dishes - 22%

*Doing laundry - 19%

*Cooking - 12%

*Grocery shopping - 10%
