Who are u as a mother???

It's been a few years since I quit my job to experience the stay-at-home bliss at my home .A lot of women in my layout have decided to quit their jobs to take care of their kids and I was living in a kind of suburban in Bangalore before we came to Mumbai . It has also, for the first time, given me an opportunity to talk to and mix with a lot of women from my old circle of friends, many of whom I had lost touch with. My layout has almost all state people so English is only common language for us...Even it has some foreigners too like Korea,France,UK too..I am just together collecting all my memories about the different moms I met till now...While the world, very broadly, generalises mothers as working and non-working, I have begun to see so many sub classes in between. Just a light-hearted look at a few kinds off the top of my head:

*The perfectionist: Hers are the kids who always go to school with sparkling white canvas shoes. Their lunches are always packed with nutritious food and their homeworks are always done. If they have to get a project finished, she starts working on it from day one and makes sure they get it right! She inspires other moms and also scares them a little bit.She wants her child to be a perfectionist .She can't tolerate if her child comes second in running race in school.Her child should be all rounder like dancer,class topper,swimmer,sports person.Oh god Instead of kid ,she raised Robot.

*The fun mommy: She is the mommy every child wants. Always full of life and exciting things to do, she is every child's hero. She makes even work fun and interesting and is not averse to a late week night every now and then. She is also the kind who, very spontaneously, will take the kids out to the zoo ,mall or the park on weekends.

*The strict officer: Her kids, quite literally, piss out of fear in her presence. She rules the household and the kids with an iron hand and kids and husband scamper away in fear at her slightest sign of displeasure.Even her kids cry if he/she fell down..not for the hurt part..fear about mama..

*The lost soul: These moms are bored out of their skulls in their avatar and are constantly wishing they were someplace else. Motherhood really does not come naturally to them and they look lost and scared most of the time, looking to someone else for guidance and deliverance.They want every time some push /mentor for them.Instead of taking care of the kid,someone need to monitor them

*The scatterbrain : This is the woman who runs down the stairs in her nightie chasing after her child with her homework. Or the one who is creating a ruckus in the mall after losing a kid. Or is up half the night designing a dress for the school play the next day and then forgets to send it.Always in some hurry ...

Now guess who are u???
But whatever,“There is no way to be a perfect mother, and a million ways to be a good one”
