Types of Motherhood

I have started running again, now that I am on the German East coast and not in the middle of Berlin Mitte exhaust fumes. Today during my run, I was thinking about types od motherhood. I guess I mean parenthood, but as I am not very fit, and my run was not very long, I didnt have much time to think things through properly. My thoughts were as follows: There are 4 general types of motherhood. (1) Organizer. I think I mainly see myself as this type of mom. Everyone's schedule is clear, to do lists are fulfilled, nails are cut, toys are tidied up. With small kids, one can spend an entire day on these types of activities. They are not much "fun" for anyone, but at least things get done. (2) Carer. I admire these types of moms, who manage to stay loving and caring, no matter what happens. I dont really see myself as this type, although I do try to tell my kids every now and then how much they mean to me. Unlike a carer, who calmly nudges kids to get things, and allows them freedom in how to get to a result, I see myself as a tyrant most days. As my husband rightly criticises me, there is my way and rarely another way... (3) Eye-opener. This type of mom has time and energy to show the world and its wonders to her kids. The kids travel, go on outings, visit different parks, go to puppet theaters. I think my own mom fits this category, as she herself needs a lot of action and input in life, and us kids as a result tagged along. I treasure it a lot now, and see this trait in my husband as well - and constantly feel guilty that I fail to find the energy to be more versatile with my kids and their activities, as I so strongly have the need to prioritise routines and order. (4) Egoist. I cant think of many moms who fall into this category, but several do have a tendency in this direction - many more lack this characteristic entirely. Those who are unegoistic, live only for their kids, which I find worrying. But much more scary would be a mom who entirely ignores the needs of her kids, and prioritises only adult needs. Small kids see the adult world unfiltered, and sad as it is, the adult world is not such a pretty place, with its x-rated movies, news filled with crises and wars, and books without pictures!
