IF YOU ANSWERED MOSTLY

A’s You’re a granola or crunchy mom. You’re earth mother and prefer the au natural route, whether it’s home births, breastfeeding for a few years, homeschooling, or cloth nappies. You don’t judge non-granola moms, but you’re ready to shout the praises of midwives, co-sleeping, homeopathy and organic all the way.

IF YOU ANSWERED MOSTLY B’s You’re the BFF mom. You sometimes think you’re a kid too, and just want to be liked by your kid, and be considered their friend. Your niceness could sometimes lead your kids to think you’re a pushover, and during manicures or expensive toy-shop visits, they could be playing you.

IF YOU ANSWERED MOSTLY C’s You’re a tiger mom. You focus solely on your children’s academic perfection, and want your child to be the best of the best in academics and music. You’re already planning your outfit for your child’s cum laude graduation from M.I.T. or Harvard.

IF YOU ANSWERED MOSTLY D’s You’re a helicopter mom, so called because you hover over your children and become very involved in their lives. You finish their sentences, puzzles and homework, and worry when they’re out of ear or eyeshot for longer than five seconds. If asked, you would even pick out all the brown Smarties from the box for them.

IF YOU ANSWERED MOSTLY E’s You’re a balanced mom. You know when to jump in when your child needs help, and when to back off, so that they can learn and grow themselves. You worry “enough” and don’t lose sleep if you child doesn’t finish his supper, or spends 15 minutes more playing games on the iPad.
