Would you agree?
The role of an Irish mammy in our lives is one that is as highly regarded as just about anything we can think of.
Whether it’s the ‘Be careful, the roads are slippy’ texts or the dinner on the table after a stressy day at work, where would be without the main woman in our lives?
Well now, research carried out by One4All has shown just how valuable our mums, or mother figures are to our lives, and we’re giving a major shout out to the mammys!
Irish people have said that the most valuable things in life come from our mammys, and we have to agree!
A third of people agree that a good solid bit of advice is the their most valued thing to ever receive from their mams, or mammy figures, with one fifth saying that if they could have one of their mother’s traits it would be their strength.
