A new survey claims to have uncovered the secret to being the perfect daughter.
According to the study, conducted by GettingPersonal.co.uk, the perfect daughter will speak to her mum every day, share her enjoyment of soap operas and always be available in an emergency. She will also be able to get on well with her mother's friends and take her mum out for lunch once a week.
Some 1,000 mothers and 1,000 adult daughters were polled in order to gauge the ideal mother-daughter relationship, and in addition to the above, the 'perfect' daughter will go on 'girly' day trips or breaks away, surprise their mum with gifts, let her use their make-up and let their mum be involved with wedding plans. She will also visit every other day, water the plants when her mother is on holiday and look after the pets if she is not around.
Elsewhere, confiding in their mother about their problems, having a cup of tea together and helping with family dinners are also little acts that mums appreciate in a daughter.
Of those surveyed, 85% of mothers said they were happy with the effort their daughter made for them, with half admitting they were better at keeping in touch than sons. Interestingly, half of daughters felt that they could still do more for their mum.
Despite the extensive list however, seven in 10 mums stated that their relationship with their daughter is already "perfect", and adding that as long as their offspring had a good life, they would be happy.
A spokesperson for GettingPersonal.co.uk is quoted in the Daily Mail as saying: "Of course there is a special female bond that a mum has with a daughter, and this research shows that sharing common interests will help that bond.
"It's heart-warming to know that all mums really want is for their daughter to lead a happy life.
"As women leave home, get more involved with their careers and have their own families, it becomes more essential to make time to keep mum in the loop.
"This research shows that it's the little things that daughters do that make a difference."
They continued: "The research is evidence that though mums would love more quality time with their daughters, just sending a text or a thoughtful note counts for a lot.
"Just asking how they are and showing an interest can ensure you stay friends as well as family members."
