I really have to ask, why are you have your mom use CM or any custom ROM?
Because usually CM is more stable than what is provided by the OEM or carrier, not to mention getting rid of CarrierIQ and all the rest of that shit they stick on there. As long as they don't have to update it (and they usually won't) running CM is often a much more pleasant experience for the non-techie as long as they have someone who can install it for them.

Totally agree. I have been running unofficial builds of CM9 for the ATT Galaxy Note for the last 2 or so months, and just upgraded to the official nightlies.
I have zero problems with it, runs like a well oiled machine. I could easily see the advantage of giving a non-techy a phone running CM - it is by far a better, more uniform UI than the stock Touchwiz mess that Samsung ships with the device. I am totally sold on CM now. As Thom mentioned in an article a while back, Samsung, HTC, etc. should all just give up and adopt CM...
