On a day that honors mothers everywhere, there's also evidence of how different moms are now.

A Pew Research Center report has found some major changes from 1990 to 2008.

My wifes first, and they just woke up...

How old??? (the baby, not your wife)

Gee, is this a news flash to anyone?

And a significantly larger share of births are to Hispanic women. Latino mothers comprise about a quarter of all births now. In 1990 they accounted for just 14 percent.

White people are going to be the minority in the next 50 years. I will have fun trying to prevent it though! LOL

Why is this supposed to be interjected on Mother’s day?
Mom is mom why is ethnicity invoked?

I thought this was going to be a weird surprise like a new
transgedered “thingy day”

It would tend to reason that women who become mothers would be more educated considering they are having children later in life. That being said one has to wonder about the complications that arise from having children at an advanced age. What was even more striking to me is that a full 40% of all births are to single moms. The odds of ending up in poverty go up astronomically in a single parent household run by a woman. That is a statistical fact. Lastly, one has to wonder about the effects of 1/4 of all births in the United States now coming from Hispanic mothers and what this will do long term to our time tested methods of assimilation. I’m unaware of any time in our country’s history that such a significant percentage of births were coming from one specific sub group of society. Only time will tell if these children marry themselves into the general population or remain distinct and form their own sub set within the population. Well there you have it. Three trends with at least two having long term negative consequences for our society.

Happy Mothers Day to all you mothers out there!

i kinda thought this would be a heart-warming story about how us grandmothers have grown up and gotten over being THE MOM. How some of us have said to our daughters-in-law “I’ve had my Mother’s Days with my boys, today is for YOU and your little family. Therefore, we will do what YOU want on Mother’s Day...and if that means you just want to hang out with my son and your kids, I’m good with that”.

It’s about teaching the kids to honor THEIR mother, not about an obliglatory plant, card and visit to make me feel less forgotten. FGS, I talk to them almost every day!

(And spell check is wacky today, the only word that showed up spelled correctly above is FGS! LOL!)

The real problem is the Hispanic cultural mindset. Anyone who thinks that there is no difference between Northern Europeans and southern has their heads on Backwards, There is definitely a difference in the work ethic and general outlook on life itself, The difference between N, and S, America is even more pronounced. Goodbye 1st world hello 3rd!
