Here are some of the results from the Elegant Bride Mother's Day online reader survey, fielded between April 13 and April 18, 2005 from a total of 2,751 total votes. Some of the more surprising conclusions were that most respondents said their mother most closely resembles TV moms Marion Cunningham ("Mrs. C" from Happy Days) (35%) and Carol Brady (The Brady Bunch) (27%), with one notable difference -- most will work (41%) like their own mother did while only 10% plan to raise their family as a stay-at-home mom.
