Types of Mom - Which one are you? Date: October 25, 2021 We all have a different parenting styles. Our parenting style sometimes define our personality and how our parents molded us while we're growing up before. But admit it!. It's actually difficult to know our own personality unless someone or other people told us based on how we interact and react. It's always difficult to look ourselves. We always need a mirror. And do you believe that however you raised your child reflects on the personality they develop as they grow? I do believe on that because there are instances that I can actually see myself or on how I react to a thing to my children. By the way, let's talk about what type of parent you are. I think most moms can relate on this one because mother are more hands-on to their children as compared to the husband hence I am defining my title specific to Moms. Types of Mom
The Perfectionist Mom A mom that always make sure she does everything right!. She is well organized and make sure that her house is so tidy that you cannot even see any single dust on their table, or sofa, or television, etc. Picture frames are well positioned on the wall and has a perfect distance from each other. You cannot see any single shoe anywhere. Everything is organized and have their own cabinets or drawers. Their dress cabinets are perfectly grouped (i.e by color, by dress type, or by usage like say for example for winter, summer dress, for school, for mall, or for church). She always dress neatly and so as her children. She has a well-behaved and well disciplined kids and husband. *I don't think this kind of mom really exist though!.* The Stalker Mom This is a type of mom who moves without you knowing that she's moving. She is like an investigator or detective. She know who's your crush or who are you dating with without you even telling it to her. She always stalks your social media account and investigates all your friends that she's suspecting to be your BF/GF or crush. She knows your every move at school. She's a certified researcher I would say and the best detective ever!. The Peacemaker Mom She is the mom who always pacifies their home. She is the mediator between an angry dad and her kids. She's also the referee of her fighting children!. She's a very supportive mom because it is one of her ways to make her home peaceful and stay away from any unnecessary drama. She would rather support her husband or child decision to avoid further discussions. The Health/Figure Conscious Mom This is a mom who is very conscious with her figure. She even calculates her daily intake of carbohydrates. She has a perfect control of her diet (i.e she has a daily diet plan). She is very active in working out. Her day is not complete without doing any work-out routine. She constantly monitor her weight as well and is very obsessed on maintaining her ideal body figure. The Exaggerated Mom This is a paranoid type of mom. The one who exaggerates everything. For example, her son just suffered from a mild fever, he would tell her husband to bring their son to the hospital as it might be a symptoms of COVID, or Dengue, or any other disease already. A mom who is super "advance mag-isip". The Creative Mom This is a type of mom who is very talented. She can turn recyclable materials into a useful thing that can help beautify their home. She can produce toys made of any materials available at home. She can make dishes made in vegetables without her kids knowing that their snacks are actually made of squash, potatoes, moringa leaves, and some more. The Competitive Mom She is the type of mom who won't let others win against her. They always make sure that they're on the top! If her neighbors has lots of plants in their front yard, she will plant more!. If the neighbor change the paint of their house, then she will change their paint too! If the neighbor's child took Engineering in college, then she would ask her child or children to take Law or Medicine courses. She likes her children to always be on top. These are the moms who will question the teachers if their child got rank 2 and lower in the school. The Marites (Gossip Maker) Mom They are the "updated" moms!. They are always aware on each and every happenings within their compound. This is a type of mom where instead of doing their house chores, she will go in the neighbor's house and make some gossips together with her BFF Marites moms. They are the type of moms who cannot help to "not gossip" in a day. Their day is not complete without it!. I can also say that most of Marites moms are double sided. They are flexible depending on whom they are with. Today, they are with you, on your side. But tomorrow, when they talked to another neighbor, instantly, they will change their view and they will become against you. But these types of moms actually has advantage sometimes because they can easily spread the good news within their area or compound.
There's still few more in my mind but I'll let you explore about the other types of Moms which I haven't mentioned yet above. Now that I have mentioned some types of moms, which type do you think are you? Or if you're not a mom, which type do you think your mom is? ***I would categorize myself as the exaggerated mom and the peacemaker mom.*** That's right. I am an exaggerated mom as I always tend to overthink every time one of my kids is unwell. I am also a peacemaker mom because I always stand as referee of my kids and my husband as well. I always try to prevent my husband from spanking my kids whenever they made a mistake.

Haha. I am not yet a mom but I can say mine falls under the peacemaker and creative. A little bit of competitive too. As you said, perfectionist moms are hard to come by. I think perfectionism has more to do with dads.
ahaahha..wow, ahahaah.. I am an aspiring creative mom, but my attempts are epic fail always :)
Haha. Creativity take development. Aspiring to be creative is another level of creativity on its own.
Natawa ako sa Marites mom. hehehehe. I am on the peacemaker. I am not a perfectionist, I allow my kids to be wrong, in that way they will learn. I am sometimes an exaggerated mom, lalo na talaga pag may dinadamdam ang mga kids ko, kahit ano ano nalang pumapasok sa isip ko. Great article.
apir!..pareho pala tayo momshie..overthinker..hehehe...advance mag isip, di pa nangyayari, naisip na natin ang pwedeng mangyari..
Yes, kaya nga pag may dinadamdam ang mga anak ko, refer ko agad sa dr.para mapanatag loob ko.
ahaha..same tayo sis..ganyan din ako..pero palaging kontra ang asawa ko..masyado daw akong nag iisip ng kung ano.
I'm not yet a mother yet I can say mine falls under the peacemaker and innovative. A smidgen of cutthroat as well. As you said, fussbudget mothers are rare, I think compulsiveness has more to do with fathers.
how about your mother? did she fall under peacemaker and innovative as well? Yeah, husbands are always compulsive!.
I always treasured my mom so much sometimes she can be marites in an instant when there's something fishy outside hahahah.
ahahaha,..I think all moms have those marites side of them inside :)

If I'm just a mom, I'm probably that Perfectionist one hahaha... I'm used to organized and presenting myself properly. I like that everything is in order. Probably because ai was brought up that way too. Also I could be that Exaggerated mom. I always think in advance. Hahaha
oh yeah..just like what I mentioned, traits that you show to your child as he or she grows up will reflect on his attitude..
Since maliit pa anak ko at Isa palang siguro doon na muna ko sa creative mom haha because I always love making DIY 🤣
ay wow!..kudos to you sis!..mahilig din ako mag DIY kaso hindi ko natatapos kasi palpak lagi
Wow you're a mom? And a peaceful and an exaggerating one at that... I think that's a perfect combination any man or child would want to have in a home, don't you think? I will say my mom is among the exaggerated, health figure conscious and creative mom... That woman is amazing to me 😊 I hope to be a really good mom when I finally get married and have my family... Especially be a peacemaker and creative mom, that is covers a lot of things to me
oh wow!...sounds like a good plan for being a mom!...:)..I am not figure conscious mom..because I love to eat

same here sis!..apir!...palagi nga kami nagtatalo minsan ni husband kapag may sakit ang mga bata. Ako kasi ay si doctor agad. Sya naman ay si obserbahan muna.
Really? There is such? I know perfectionist, marites (I'm not sure if this is even a type but most girls are), competitive. Me, im a single mom of two, i would say, i'm just the ordinary mom. Not the perfectionist nor competitive. Plain and simple, mom.
That's call then.. Yeah i think there are lots of competitive moms out there..competitive in their own way
