A mom is popularly a term used in reference to a mother. A mother is commonly a biological and female parent. It has different connotations according to the context (social, cultural and religious). Nowadays, with the advances in reproductive technologies, the function of biological motherhood is shared between the one genetic (who provides the ovum) and the one gestational (who carries the pregnancy). The term is often extended to the woman who fulfills the main social role in raising the child; it is in reality defined with precision by the term ”adoptive mother”. Mothers have historically recognized as the one who acknowledge their children in conversation since young and they are more likely than fathers to encourage assimilative and communion -enhancing patterns in their children. Socially, it has been recognized that the way mothers speak to their children favors the understanding of the message and is someway better suited to support them in their efforts to do things. This is however challenging to define the mother as the one fulfilling the primary role in raising children because the social role and experience of motherhood is greatly depending upon location and culture. The fathers have been sometimes given greater prominence and social acceptance in the role of child care in certain areas.
