But mostly relaxed. I think I do the one upper by accident in an attempt to commiserate.</p> <p>I like to research stuff a lot but at the end of the day I'm lazy and. want to give my kid the freedom to just be a kid. Except don't mess with his nap schedule! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2498751 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 19:53:27 +0000 tlcbaby 2498751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm probably a mix of natural and relaxed. I definitely use my oils and give him honey and lemon for a cold, but I also am pretty hands off and let him jump off the couch and climb ladders (that I am holding) and stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2498741 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 19:45:56 +0000 BrandNewMom 2498741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely the relaxed mom.<br /> Your kid came down the slide and accidentally kicked my kid into the mud? Don't worry! She's not bleeding. Eating sand at the beach? It's natural or whatever. No nap today? Sure, why not. Early bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2498731 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 19:36:49 +0000 MoonMoon 2498731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: aww, thank you!

Can't get enough of that Moon Moon, haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2498727 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 19:30:29 +0000 NovBaby1112 2498727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On FB with my friends I feel like I'm the "I research everything online and know more than the average mom but I don't want to sound too smart/know it all". </p> <p>Like when someone on FB posts "Omg my 6 month old won't sleep! He has been awake for 10 hours! Maybe he's just not tired?" And I want to write a novel bc I research anything and everything but don't want to sound like a know it all or expert lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2498684 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 18:59:06 +0000 Raindrop 2498684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: You seem funny! I mean your user name is a from a meme... right? :) (I actually don't know just assuming... )</p> <p>Figuring out your wolf name... and someone ended up with moon moon ... and it went viral. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2498679 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 18:56:55 +0000 regberadaisy 2498679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MoonMoon: I actually think you are one of the few true fairly relaxed moms without venturing into the "annoying" territory. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2498673 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 18:53:51 +0000 Raindrop 2498673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have facebook and I didn't read the article but from the names themselves I don't think I fit any of those.</p> <p>I'm the logistics mom. I research everything! I know all the things we need to do logically. Executing is hard!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2498589 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 17:52:21 +0000 youboots 2498589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A mix of the perfect Mom &amp; relaxed Mom. I like things a certain way but I think I'm super relaxed for a FTM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2498580 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 17:47:58 +0000 MoonMoon 2498580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not on FB, so I didn't vote in the poll. I'd like to think I'm the "funny" mom like on Twitter, HB, etc. but I don't know! I think it's harder to judge ourselves to ourselves. I'd love to ask how fellow Bees perceive me (good or bad), but I don't know if I "stand out" enough on here to have anyone form an opinion of me, ha ha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2498571 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 17:42:21 +0000 Tanjowen 2498571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also think I fall into more of the, "Hot mess of a mom," category. I never have my shit together :happy: I am guilty of the one upping when talking to moms at times! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497954 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:44:40 +0000 dagret 2497954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agree with @mrsrain: i'd be the unsolicited advice mom. But in my mom group, they're always asking me for advice b/c they know i've already researched everything. so...kind of annoying but comes from a good place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497910 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:32:04 +0000 schubr03 2497910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't really know what kind of mom I am on Facebook. I post a lot of pictures, so maybe an "oversharer." But only for photos. In real life, I am probably the one-upper. I tend to talk about my LO a lot during convos with other moms. I try to catch myself because I know it is really selfish. But, my parenting style is really relaxed. I don't freak out about little things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497749 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 09:58:15 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2497749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: Right?!?</p> <p>I'm a bit of each one on certain days. Who hasn't judged another mom as much as we try not to? And who hasn't one-upped at least once? I breast fed for 4 months with each kid, but the one I least identify with is the natural mom. I certainly slap a bit of tylenol on it often, but I'm most certainly not relaxed. @ValentineMommy: you said it best! I think I'd describe myself as the anxious mom! </p> <p>Though...none of this is on FB. I keep the crazy to myself :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497744 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 09:54:11 +0000 Mommy Finger 2497744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: I couldn't agree more! :)</p> <p>I would say that if everyone was being honest with themselves, they'd recognize that they're a bit of all of them rolled into one. I know I would said that about myself. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497725 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 09:42:27 +0000 LuLu Mom 2497725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say i'm the relaxed mom with a hint of one upper. I catch myself doing it in conversation, not meaning too and i try to stop myself! But when it comes to doctor visits/medicine/ect. i'm totally relaxed compared to some friends. I do not take my children to the doc for a cold or a fever unless it carries on or warrants it. I have a friend who's son sneezes and she's in there and it annoys me! I'm like "you are the reason i can't get a decent appointment when my kid is actually sick" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497554 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 08:27:59 +0000 snowjewelz 2497554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I'm like a mix of 4 and 5! I realized I'm a little bit crunchy - breastfeednig, babywearing, co-sleeping... And I've been surprising relaxed even tho DD is my first LO (or have I forgotten all my freak outs in the early days?!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497421 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 07:06:08 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2497421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: lol i was thinking the same thing!</p> <p>I don't really post about parenting on Facebook other then an occasional pic of my kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497402 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 06:24:26 +0000 ms.line 2497402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: haha, I was thinking the same thing!

It was before you had kids anyway! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497394 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 05:53:47 +0000 BSB 2497394@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I had to pick one, I think it would have to be the relaxed mom or none of them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497375 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 02:04:28 +0000 littleblessings 2497375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I would consider myself a hot mess of a mom. I always have forgotten something. Even when I try to look great and have the kids nice and tidy something happens and we look like the hot mess family. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497355 Thu, 17 Mar 2016 00:01:30 +0000 gingerbebe 2497355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I'm relaxed about most things, except my son's schedule. Never mess with the schedule or I cut you. Don't most parents have like a pet issue that they are anal about? I feel like perfect moms just have many, many pet issues. I'm also sorta guilty of one upping but I swear it's virtually always to commiserate with another mom about something awful happening to them, not to be like "winning" or whatever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497342 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 22:53:52 +0000 808love 2497342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm the "Isn't our World Beautiful and Funny?Mom." After being on a 6 month break from FB, I'm back on. Last year, I did a 3 month break and the year before I think I did 1 month...maybe. Can't remember. Anyway, I like to post, like and comment on beautiful, awesome or funny things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497316 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 21:44:03 +0000 Astro Bee 2497316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't post on FB, but I think in real life I may come across as the perfect mom (in this context), even though I really feel I'm the relaxed mom. We are the only one of all of my friends to breastfeed to 1 year (although still 2 weeks shy of this goal, with no plan to stop anytime soon). LO has not caught any of mine or DH's colds or the really bad strep throat I had. I've mentioned to a few friends that I'm amazed, and then say it's probably because of the antibodies. We also cloth diaper (again the only one), and he never gets rashes, except with weird new foods like kiwis. Again, I think it's because of the CD. They both work for us, and I'm happy with the results, if that's what they are. But I don't judge anyone else for their choices. I honestly feel, "meh, to each their own," and these are both my own way of "slapping some Tylenol on it," which I also do! :wink: But I can admit that others looking in may see this all as trying to be perfect, even though I'm just doing what works for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497299 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 21:23:27 +0000 MrsRcCar 2497299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am normally a laid back/relaxed momma. Sometimes I am that mom shaming mom. That part of me makes me sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/the-five-types-of-mom-on-facebook#post-2497296 Wed, 16 Mar 2016 21:20:55 +0000 regberadaisy 2497296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: @mrsrain: @Jackiedavis87: @petitenoisette: @artsyfartsy: lol! 😂 Hey!
