What Kind of Mom Are You Quiz

A mother is an important part of a child's life, as she is often the person who is closest to the child. Children often depend on their mothers for emotional and physical sustenance. Because of this, there is usually a lot of pressure on women to be the "perfect" mother.

However, all mothers are different because their personalities and situations are different. This shapes the way they raise their children and what they deem appropriate for them.

There are a few most common mother types, from the over-controlling perfectionist mother to the supportive best friend mother. Take this 'What kind of mom are you?' quiz to find out what kind of mom you are!
