I'm wondering now if she has super powers of some sort because I honestly have no idea how she did it. I'm so lazy compared to her! @Anagram: our moms sound a lot alike! Supermoms.

I think it has something to do with screen time--as in, I waste hours a day oh HB and FB and Reddit, and NYTimes...and my mom doesn't even watch tv. But yeah, my mom had 6 kids, WOTH, made dinner every night, somehow is a size 4-6 after having those 6 kids, works out every day, sews, gardens,the list goes on. Just thinking about it all makes me tired.

My mom now is sort of that unstoppable force. She's always moving, cleaning, cooking, helping. Everything is just so and she says things like "well if you just did one load of laundry a day it wouldn't stack up!" (which is true and yet... lol). But I remember when I was little my mom was not quite the homemaker she is now. I can remember the person-sized piles of laundry and the clutter. I think she was probably still a little bit tidier than I am now, but not that much. Probably by the time I'm her age I'll be perfect betty homemaker too :) SugarplumsMom on "How do you stack up to your mom?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stack-up-to-your-mom#post-1872503 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 07:50:09 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1872503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We're completely different, we don't even look alike. But my mom's like yours: so full of energy I'm a sloth compared to her!

I'm nowhere near that lol LovelyPlum on "How do you stack up to your mom?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stack-up-to-your-mom#post-1872464 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 07:23:11 +0000 LovelyPlum 1872464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My mom is pretty awesome for a number of reasons, but now that I've had a baby, I am AMAZED at how well she juggled being pregnant with so many of us running around. I don't remember her complaining at all, or being extra tired, or anything like that. I'm sure she was exhausted, especially by the time #5 came around, but I have no recollection of her taking it out on us in any way. I very much want to emulate that! We are also both very busy people. Do what needs doing! artsyfartsy on "How do you stack up to your mom?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stack-up-to-your-mom#post-1872459 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 07:13:27 +0000 artsyfartsy 1872459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My mom has always been the perfect WOHM since I was little. House always clean, dinner made every night, full time job, 3 girls including one with medical needs when she was little...ugh. I look like a lazy bum compared to her!!

Whenever she comes over, she cleans random things in my house for me. Her house is always clean and she's a fantastic cook. Plus she works full-time too! Where is all that energy from???? I watch a lot of TV instead.

I am more focused on doing activities with the kids. We prioritize different things as moms. looch on "How do you stack up to your mom?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stack-up-to-your-mom#post-1872422 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 05:59:23 +0000 looch 1872422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We're cut from the same cloth, if something needs to get done, we are roll up your sleeves kind of people.

If we go there with the kids or she comes here she's always helping in some way. She's awesome! candymum on "How do you stack up to your mom?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stack-up-to-your-mom#post-1872397 Mon, 22 Sep 2014 03:30:53 +0000 candymum 1872397@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My mum is exactly like that. I wonder if I'll be as selfless as her when I'm her age. 78h2o on "How do you stack up to your mom?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stack-up-to-your-mom#post-1872332 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 21:47:29 +0000 78h2o 1872332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I feel like my mom has always been amazing...with my sister and I, and now with our kids. Like @MrsBee, my mom cooks, cleans, and plays for hours when she visits. No idea where she gets her energy. Oh, and she has the patience of a SAINT. I try my best to emulate her...I don't always succeed, but I don't stress about it either!

But i am far far less organized & put together than she is. I'm kind of a scatter brained mess & she just isn't. lol blackbird on "How do you stack up to your mom?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stack-up-to-your-mom#post-1872256 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 20:18:43 +0000 blackbird 1872256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Meh, it's not a competition.

She always did so much and I feel like I can barely do a third of what I remember her doing- and I don't even have a kid yet! I keep hoping my mom energy will hit at some point.... Mrs. Bee on "How do you stack up to your mom?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-stack-up-to-your-mom#post-1872241 Sun, 21 Sep 2014 20:06:36 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1872241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My mom is here visiting, and honestly I feel so lazy compared to her! She cooks, she cleans, she watches the kids, she's always doing something productive, she has more energy than I do. (She's cleaning our air conditioners now.) Even growing up she was always busy. I wonder if I'll do the things she does for me when Charlie and Olive have kids. Maybe I'll get some special grandma energy? Somehow I don't think so! I may never be as hard working as her, but I try to enrich the kids' lives in other ways through arts and crafts, reading, adventures, etc. How do you stack up to your mom?
