What is your Mothering Style?

I’m a “Give ‘Em Their Space” Mother!

(Introverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving)

Non-intrusive and respectful of differences, I give my children the personal space they need to develop as separate, self-sufficient individuals.

What’s your mothering personality type? Take the MotherStyles quiz at FamilyEducation.com!

I took this quiz today as I was interested to find out what was my mothering style. The results was really interesting. While peaking around at FamilyEducation .com the related article stated that my weakness were

  • Handling Domestic Chores does not appeal to me.
  • Finding it hard being emotionally supportive to my child
  • I find it difficult to ask personal questions.

I dispute these facts as personally it doesn’t apply to me. When the need arises I don’t think that I will shy away being emotionall supportive and probe into the lives of my children to help to make their life better.  Handling domestic chores is not something that I really fancy but having to do so doesn’t bother me. I don’t find it difficult fixing meals and being creative at mealtime. As so I feel that the boys eat much more and healthier at home then outside.

      @Brandy,
      today has been quite tiring as my elder boy is down with cough, cold and fever. Hope he gets better soon.
      Having to mother more then 40 kids daily … I guess you learn that lots of things are beyond your control and no point fussing over it.
