I figured that Mother's would need to be at least level 9...

Afterall they'll need several feats...

If they are a good mother...

Profession: Cook
Diplomacy
Negotiator
Bluff

Maybe level 12 for Demi-humans...just because of the feat requirements

Perhaps tossed in

Toughness for the pain of childbirth...

Also have to include some sort of CHA...

I'd imagine probably typically around at least a 9 CHA...

On average though I suppose there could be exceptions to that with having a GOOD mother (the key here is good, there are plenty of bad mothers who can't trick their kid into anything).

They also might need additional skill focus into areas such as spot.

I'm thinking

Run
Improved Grapple
Skill Focus (Sense Motive)
Skill Focus (Bluff) (for when the kid is asking questions)
Iron Will (for the "pretty please" moments)

Keep the mother as level 1 commoner, but she gets the benefits of those feats and skills only when applied to her children, after she's had 2 or 3 of them at least.

Rage. I'm sure you've heard of mothers picking up cars to save there children or something similar. The adrenal glands go into overdrive an they get 'rage', without the anger. Though, sometimes mother do get very angry. Don't believe me? Threaten their child.

Improved Grapple
Still laughing my ass off!! That is so true, and too funny!! Good list in general though! This one just caught my eye remembering all of those successful grapple checks my mother made against me back in the day!!

I think that's just size modifiers.
