I decided to take a quiz to find out what kind of Mother I am. Interesting results...(my comments in italics)

ENFP —The “Kids R Fun” Mother

“Whatever I enjoy—playing tag or singing in the car—I can do it with kids around. And it’s totally legitimate!”


Playful and energetic (not so energetic, but working on it), the ENFP mother finds her children to be good company and enjoys being with them. In fact, she says being with children justifies her own “being a kid again.” And children say she’s fun to be with — spontaneous, hearty, and imaginative.

Naturally drawn to introducing her children to the joys of life, the ENFP is something of a free spirit (I wouldn't say I'm a free spirit, but I definitely want Meg to have a fun childhood). She is less concerned with rules, routines, and schedules, and more inclined to give her children plenty of free time to play, explore on their own or with her, and have fun together (I couldn't have worded that sentence better myself. I do keep her on a schedule, but do not let our lives revolve around it. If she wants to stay up late, I don't fight her about it).

Tuned in to her children, the ENFP mother enthusiastically encourages each one’s individuality and unique potential through a great variety of experiences. She is also quick to identify with others’ feelings and thoughts, making her an empathetic supporter of her children, not to mention her mate and many, many friends.

To say the least, it's very interesting. I think most people that know me would agree with the above (most of it anyway).

One of my best friends (I see her almost everyday) took the quiz and got the same mothering style! So I'm making a very scientific predication that you and I would make GREAT friends in real life!!
