Mother's Day is the perfect time to celebrate the best woman in your life, but in reality, we should celebrate them all year round.
And let's face it - there is no one quite like a wee maw fae Glesga; stern, kind, wise, witty, loving and always hilarious. They deserve to be celebrated.
Should you hail from Glasgow or even just have a mother who does, you'll recognise all or most of the things we think make a Glasgow mum.
From words of wisdom to a snide remark or making sure you are always well-fed, here are the things anyone with a Glasgow mum will know.

1. She loves to feed everyone
It's impossible for you, your significant other, your friends or even just the guy fixing the boiler to visit your mums without getting fed.
And not just fed... fed well. Expect huge portion sizes and even seconds, with more to take home.
Any 'no thank yous' will be shot down with an "ach, look at you I've seen more meat on a butcher's pencil, have some food," and a disapproving look.
2. She's the head of the household
When it comes to everything from money matters to getting the messages, it's your mum who is boss and don't be fooled by anyone telling you differently.

3. She has a sixth sense when it comes to putting the washing out
Who needs a weatherman like Sean Batty when you've got a Glasgow mum?
Just one look at the sky is all she needs to decipher whether or not she can get a washing line out. And when she does so it's at lightning speed.
Even in the winter - if the sun's out the washing's out. She'll even take her washing line on holiday with her - to make use of the balcony of course.
4. She'll be quick to tell you if she doesn't like what you're wearing
"You look like you've been dragged through a hedge backwards."
"Fix that hat, it's aw tae the wan side like Gourock."
"Look at the nick of ye!"
Glaswegian mums don't hold back if you're not up to scratch when it comes to your appearance and they've got a whole slew of sharp words and phrases to hit you with if you meet their displeasure.
5. She can blether for Scotland
In an interview with Glasgow Live comedian Des Clarke, who hails from the Gorbals, said: "If you ask a Glaswegian how they're doing you get War and Peace", which we think perfectly sums up the chatterbox that is your mum.
Nothing ever has a simple answer. You always get the full story right from the beginning and these lengthy conversations can take place anywhere.
Don't think for a minute you can head to the supermarket or local high street with your mum on a Saturday and be in and out in 20 minutes. Not if she knows every second or third person she passes - which she probably does.
6. She could work for MI5 if she were given the chance
James Bond has nothing on a Glasgow mum. If you want the low down on what's going on she'll put even the FBI and MI5 to shame.
All the chatting and gossiping she does on a regular basis enables her to unlock an absolute gold mine of information. That's why it's also best to stay in her good books because, trust us, she'll find some dirt eventually.
7. She must have utter control over 'The Big Light'
Much like dads are in control of the heating, mums are in charge of the 'big light'.
Whether it's to go off because it's 'like Blackpool Illuminations in here' or it's to go on because she 'cannae see a thing' you do as your mum says. Want a quiet life? Leave the lighting in the living room down to her.
8. She can fix everything with a cup of tea or plate of soup
Bad day at work? Feeling sick? Got the hangover from hell? According to a Glasgow mum, there's nothing a cup or tea or plate of soup can't solve. You've barely got your coat off in her house and she's asking "how many sugars?"
9. She treats cleaning the house like nobody else on the planet
Glasgow mums are absolute professionals when it comes to cleaning and having a tidy house. Whether that's a 'quick tidy' before Sandra comes round for a cup of tea or getting the hoover out at 8am on a Saturday because that's the only time she's got to fit it in.
It's just as well most families can't afford a cleaner or she'd probably gut the house before they came round too.
The walls are washed down, skirting boards painted and curtains replaced before any big family gathering.
10. And lastly, she's pure, dead brilliant
Even though she sometimes drives you up the wall there's nobody to beat your Glasgow mum. She'll always have your back and has top chat to boot.
Make sure you give her the love, attention and occasional roasting she truly deserves every day of the year.
