What Kind of Mother are You?

5 Comments

I was so curious to see what kind of mother I am; I couldn’t wait to read her list. Please welcome my guest blogger on What Kind of Mother are You?

What Kind of Mother are You?

Please welcome my Guest Blogger today – Kim Uliana of The Pinterested Parent Blog.
I sometimes wonder if I am a good mother because I am not always sure I am making the right decisions for my little girl. I am still learning as I go & hoping that I do right by her along the way. Every mother has a different parenting style. We are all unique women with our way of doing things.

What Kind of Mother are You?

New Mom

How to spot her: She has a crying infant attached to her. She is probably wearing over-sized sweatpants and a spit-up stained sweatshirt. It is possible that she might have a poop stain on her cheek as well.  She looks like she hasn’t slept in days because she probably hasn’t.

Overprotective Mom

How to spot her: She will be the one running frantically from one end of the bouncy house to the other screeching softly as children larger than hers enter. Often seen with a large roll of bubble wrap sticking out of her purse.

Know It All Mom

How to spot her: You will find her cornering the newest mommy in the group at a birthday party offering unsolicited parenting advice. Listen for backhanded digs toward other mothers & lots of gloating about her children, as she has raised them correctly.

Put Together Mom

How to spot her: You will recognize her as the one that all of us sweatpants-clad mommies are sneering at. She is attractive of course. Her & her children are always flawlessly dressed. Her hair is up in a perfectly messy updo. She most likely fit back into her size four jeans on the way home from the hospital. She is not me.

Super Mom

How to spot her: You will see this mommy at the grocery store with her two perfectly mannered children in tow, helping her shop for the gourmet dinner she is fixing the family that evening. Her home is perfectly kept with framed artwork that she and her children did together.

The “Where is this kid’s mom” Mom

How to spot her: You often can’t, but she is the mother of the kid in the playground that knocked your child over four times intentionally & shot another in the eye with a slingshot.  She is most likely the lady way over there talking on her cell phone or updating her Facebook status with her back turned to her child.

Patient Mom

How to spot her: With a tantrum child clung screaming at her feet & pulling at her pant leg, this mother can remain poised and calm. You watch as she kneels down & whispers magical words into her child’s ears to get them to stop. This mother does not frazzle or yell. I watch her enviously while I search for my Xanax.

All Around Mom

How to spot her: Usually this mother has at least one boy & one girl. She can relate to most other moms because she has experienced everything being a mommy has to offer. She has raised one easy child & one not so easy one, and always has great pearls of wisdom to offer.
What kind of mother are you? Or perhaps you are a mix. I am the Overprotective Mom without a doubt.

ABOUT KIM:

Kim is a 39-year-old woman, holding on to her last year in her 30′s with all of her might. She is a loving wife to her best friend, the love of her life & sometimes a pain in my butt. She’s a mommy to a beautiful & precious little girl, who loves to learn, craft & play. Kim is an artist, a crafter & a Pinterest addict. When Kim first started blogging it was meant to be an outlet for her addiction. She planned to recreate her favorite Pinterest pins & share experiences with her readers. What she has learned along the way is that you can find inspiration everywhere & surprise yourself with new ideas along the way.

Thank you again, Kim. Be sure to see more of her writings and life experiences at The Pinterested Parent

    This was an interesting list of mother types. I am going to review the list again to see if I see myself.

    I think I am mostly an all around mom, my oldest is the easiest kid around while my youngest is a whirlwind! Love them both dearly! Im certainly not all put together though!
