What Type of Mother Are You?
Are you a “happy together” mother or an “action adventure” mother or, like me, a “love of learning” mother? I came across The M.O.M.S Handbook[1] (MOMS = mothers of many styles) twenty years ago when my children were aged 9 and 7. Based on the MBTI, its core message is that there is no one best way to be a mother, trust your own style and don’t compare yourself with other mothers. And, importantly, remember to look after your own needs as well as your children’s.
