Mostly A’s: The Madly Motivated Mama

Your kid is destined to be the captain of the football team, head cheerleader, first chair saxophonist, valedictorian and lead in the play. In his/her free time, s/he will be involved in a high-level internship with a top-secret government agency while managing to pull off a perfect score on the SAT’s and ace the AP exams. You wouldn’t have it any other way. If your kid isn’t the best at everything (and why wouldn’t s/he be, she is the smartest, most talented, strongest, best looking and most motivated kid that you’ve ever met), then s/he isn’t trying hard enough. It’s that simple.

Mostly B’s: The Laid-Back Leader

Life should be calm, relaxed and easy. Sure, your kids like to eat to eat like any other kid, but if they’re hungry enough, they’ll certainly find something to eat. Likewise, if they’re tired, they’ll go to bed so there is no reason to push a bedtime routine or sleep schedule. Seriously, who wants to be regulated by a clock and a schedule their entire life? Your days are full of impromptu hug fests and relaxing afternoons playing on the floor. If your kid wants to play soccer, then surely s/he will find a ball somewhere and learn to play.

Mostly C’s: The Perfectionist Parent

There is absolutely not reason to let your appearance, house or husband suffer because you have a baby on your hands. Sure, the little tyke takes a bit of work, but that is no excuse to let yourself or your household slide. You love to entertain your friends with freshly brewed coffee and homemade biscotti and you wouldn’t be caught dead in a pair of flats. Your foundation is perfectly applied and your hair has been washed and curled. Your children are dressed to the nines in Janie and Jack’s latest line and your nails are pained perfectly pink to match your new Jimmy Choo stilettos.

Mostly D’s: The Middle-of-the-road mommy

You’d love to have freshly baked scones on hand at all times and be perfectly presentable at the grocery store, but that’s just not possible with a screaming one-year-old to tend to and a household full of dirty laundry to do. You’d love it if your kid grew up to be a professional basketball player or a best-selling author, but you’d also love it if your kid grew up to be a teacher. Or an engineer. Or a secretary. You want your kid to have every opportunity to explore the world and succeed, so you give your kid the opportunity to participate in Gymboree and dance class and swim lessons, but not at the expense of long and lazy afternoons rolling in the grass with your dogs or playing peek-a-boo with daddy.
