5 Different Ways to Be a Mom and Why They Are All Okay
Which of These Moms Are You?
Control Freak Mom
This is the mother who controls everything. Even if she is not with her children, she is very anxious about controlling what her children are doing. Schedules, comings and goings, meals, routines, games &mdash EVERYTHING. Sometimes it can be a little overwhelming, but in the end it takes someone who knows their children well to offer stability.
If this mother uses her superpower to keep everything in order in a loving way, considering herself and validating the emotions of her little ones, at the end of the day the whole family will appreciate her efforts.
Thank you, Mom, because you always know where the other sock is when it mysteriously disappears!
Working Mom
This is the mother with professional goals, and she does everything in her power to achieve them. After dinner, she encourages you to study. She gets up early to fix your school lunch and still arrives at the office on time. She makes the most of her time at work &mdash nothing can stop her!
When the working mom is fulfilled both personally and professionally, and maintains the right work-life balance, then she feels good about herself and her loved ones. She is available for her family and she certainly has a lot to teach her little ones.
Thank you, Mom, for serving as a good example!
Stay-at-Home Mom
Although she does not work in an office, this mother works 24/7 at home: she prepares breakfast, lunch, and dinner, in addition to baking delicious desserts, keeping the house clean, and making the linens so flawless that they look brand new. She also helps her children with their homework, takes them to their many extracurricular activities, and clothes them and kisses them good night.
Thank you, Mom, for your company and dedication!
Best Friend Mom
When Mom plays with her children all the time, she sees every movie with them, gives them the sweetest snacks, and consents to their every request. For some she is seen as a mother who imposes few limits, and for others she lives life intensely with her children by her side.
In any case, this is a mother who loves to take advantage of every moment with her kids because she knows that this stage only lasts for so long.
Thank you, Mom, for playing with me when I ask you to!
Optimistic Mom
This is the mom comprised of all of the above. She is the mom we see in the park, who cries occasionally in the few moments of solitude she has at home, seeking a time to go out with her friends, and yet she loves her family infinitely. This mother is not always aware of how good she has it, and yet she knows how to apologize and with love accepts that she is only human. She knows that motherhood is a great challenge, full of joyous moments but also pain, like the pain her kid experiences when he falls while running.
She is a mom, no matter where she is or what she is doing. She is a mom even when her children are not with her. This mother is the mother who sometimes controls, sometimes works, is sometimes at home, and is sometimes a best friend; she knows that being a mom is a job for life. At the same time, she knows that motherhood is her greatest goal, the most beautiful dream, and the most significant activity in life.
Thank you, Mom, because your dedication, your example, your presence, and your love inspire me every day!
