as a sub species to old weary mum (could be me ), how about the old weary mum who is not sure whe's had enough children yet and bangs ON AND ON about it (if I'd started 5 years ago, I'd deifnitely go for number 4, as it is I'm not sure, it's just I don't want to have any regrets, what do you think, of course I know someone who had their 1st at 45 and she's great, her little boy is lovely, quite a handful, oh I feel tired at the thought of it, i'm just not sure..................).

I think I am Indie Mum Oh dear!

Underhand Mum - pretends to be your best friend but can't resist making sly digs at your parenting style/childrens' behaviour/baby's development. So sly that you're never quite sure if you're just being paranoid...

mistaken friend mum is a grown up version of freshers week friend

Fllight · 29/04/2008 10:45

That is why HE is such an appealing ioption atm. It is the mistaken friend.

Social climbing Mum; has lots and lots of parties

"Rufus will you stop chewing the Ottoman there are people here from Tatler Magazine!"

Perfect Mum:
Really pretty in a non make-up needing way. Petite, lovely toned skin, sweet personality, easy birth, easy babies. Gets back to shape in 2 weeks. Tidy clean house, never says a bad word about anyone, big smile, never flustered, makes it all look so bloody effortless..

I SO am Dizzy Mum btw

CountessDracula · 29/04/2008 10:48

We're all at least one of these though aren't we?

Like I said I've been all of them during my time, mostly inadvertently

orangina · 29/04/2008 10:54

perfect mum could be really nice though and a laugh, which makes her (somehow) worse, as you can't go home and think "God, she's dull......"

brimfull · 29/04/2008 10:55

we should write a book

hilarious!
