There is a very cute article on the Mamapedia homepage titled, Which Mama Type Are You? And it pokes fun at some of the different Mama Types... all in good fun, of course!

Take a look at it, and tell us, Which Mama Type Are YOU?

I'd have to say that I fit best in the Homemade Play Doh Mama category... How about you?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Ok, Ok, I know none of us fits exactly in any of the categories... this was JFF, people! C'mon now! Of coures we are all LOTS of other things, but this article just poked fun at some of the more quirky things we moms do... so in that vain, I most resemble the crafty mom who makes the handmade gifts, etc. Lighten up!

Cheryl, if you go to the homepage, and it's not there, refresh your browser, and a different set of articles appears... you may find it that way. I think it's titled Momma Types...

I think the author needs to expand her group of friends and acquaintances. I don't fall in any of those descriptions and a fair few got hell no!

They need more than one laid back mom, I am not the its five o clock somewhere type as described. I am pretty laid back mind you. I am also a schedule freak and a type A at work. I guess I am a mellow person got together with a type A and had a freak kind of mom or as I usually describe myself, Bones got together with Monk and had a kid. :-/

I'd say I'm a combo of "homemade play doh" and "it's five o'clock somewhere"

It's important to have some balance, right? :)

I didn't fit any of these categories. I'm more of a roll with it, don't sweat the small stuff, who cares about germs, get in there and have fun, I don't care if you get dirty, be a good person, use your manners and be polite at all times, not afraid to tell other moms that my kid makes me nuts sometimes, realistic, honest, practical, sometimes crafty, never domestic, give lots of hugs and kisses, encourage my kid to be independent and think and use her own judgement, stand up for yourself but don't be a jerk, tell my kid how proud I am of her, let her know when there's room for improvement, family comes first, relaxed kind of mom. :)

I'm a cross between the Organic Mama and the It's 5'oclock Somewhere mama (not to say I'm an alcoholic or anything, but we're the house where all of our friends w/ kids congregate ... and killer margaritas are my specialty! :)

5 o'clock Somewhere Mama. Current evening cocktail=Rum and Coke with lime. Our dates consist of going to see a live band at a bar or playing pool/ping pong.

Other than that, I'm a mix of the Yogi Salami, Homemade Playdough and PTA mamas...and the first six are nothing like me, nor is the Gym Mama.

I like to think of myself as the Foodie Mama. My kids will eat and try anything, and we make food/baked goods for gifts. I have my own 18-years-and-running cookbook with my tried and trues in it. I am ALWAYS looking for new recipes to try. I have WAY too many cookbooks. I could be cooking and the house could fall down around me and I wouldn't notice.

None of the above.

Ok, sorry L., I'll play along. If I had to pick one I guess I would fall under "It's 5 o'clock somewhere" Mama. I do like to have a glass of wine or a jack and coke occasionally! The rest don't really fit for those of us who work full-time, that's all. I wish they had one that was "play in the dirt and go fishing mama" that would be me!

I guess I'm going to have to say I'm a cross between the Play Doh Mama because I do try to make as much stuff from scratch as I can & the It's 5 o'clock somewhere Mama (my kids know if it's a liquid in a glass, not a cup, and includes a straw it is "Mama Juice"), but I don't fit comfortably into either one aside from the line that says, "She's friends with Mama's from all of the other categories" because that's definitely true! ;)

fun!...Im a mix between

organic momma- most people would consider my food odd, organic and poke fun at my focus on proper nutrition, but you will find "some' bad food around on occasion. I mean i dont pass out raisins on halloween or anything!,

home made playdough mama- never did playdough (cause i hate the stuff) but you will see us covered in paint, paper mache, ribbons, markers......especially on holidays...etc...

gym mama- if we are on a "playdate" together , you are likely doing yoga, pilates, aerobics or cardio with me, at the park, or walking.......or im trying to get you too.

Just read it - ha ha ha ha! I don't think I am just one of those, I am probably more of a combo of small amounts Billboard Mama, Homemade Play-Doh Mama, and to some extent Organic Mama. I do make homemade play-doh but I am not real crafty otherwise. Sometimes I get really religous about organic food but then my daughter's favorite dessert right now are Oreo cookies. You can bet I will be sporting the "My Child is an Honor Student" bumpersticker when the time comes! And I am a wee bit "5 o'clock somewhere" Mama too!

Edited to Add: There really ought to be a "Geek Mom" - the kind that likes to watch Star Wars and can quote Monty Python movies verbatim. That would be more like me!

I didn't fit any of the categories. Too bad there wasn't a Middle-Aged Momma category! I'm not crunchy granola, not overprotective, just experienced in life and pretty mainstream on most things having to do with kids.

Im with Theresa, took me awhile to find it!

I think Im a mix of all (not as extreme though) except PTA Momma, Homemade playdough (even though I really want to make my own playdough right now) Im just not very crafty, and Yogi Salami, although I do envy the calmness. :)

Ok, Im back at my mom duties now. Stop distracting me L.!! ;)

Oh and btw, I picked out awesome outfits for our pictures and none of them match (not clash) and NOOOO White! I'll send you a pic when I get them back!

Ironically and a bit contradictorily, I am a yogi and organic Mom with some anti-sandbox and panic mode momma thrown in to balance it out I guess.

I guess I'm the only Panic Mom here. :)

I blame it on the fact that I work in pedi intensive care, but while I haven't (yet) called 911, I've made an alarming number of calls to poison control (mostly unwarranted), and I've taken my kiddo to see an astonishing number of medical specialists (ENT, craniofacial surgeon, general surgeon, dermatologist, and nutritionist.) And he's perfectly healthy. Not a thing wrong with him. :) I just trust the doctors I work with more than my pediatrician, I guess.

I suspect my pediatrician hates me ...

It's weird, though - I"m totally not a germaphobe. And while I"m a little granola, I'm not really all hung up about organic this and organic that. And I"m pretty calm while I"m panicking. Must be the "patchouli." :)

answers from Rockford on

Ha! ha! That was fantastic! I am not sure which Momma I am to be honest... I suppose it would be a hybrid of Home Made Play-Dough, Yoga Salami, and organic, although I do not commit wholeheartedly to any of them. Ha! ha! and if there was one for Sci-Fi Geek Momma I might fit a little better in to that one. "This Momma's kids know the theme to Star Trek (all of the series) and can quote Star Wars and Doctor Who" might fit me a bit better... *LAUGH*
