[quote=Anonymous]I have a mom friend I admire and wish I could emulate, but it's not about achievement or wealth or having it made. It's all about her attitude and personality. She witty, funny, and sarcastic, but with no bitterness or mean-spiritedness that can turn people off. She tries her best and is really successful at having a very "together" home and life, but doesn't try or pretend to be perfect. There's no image-management that I see so many moms seem so conscious of. She is so patient and conscientious of her kids and their behavior and manners, but none if it is authoritarian or false. No cutesy-cute voices, trite sentimentality, or insipid Pinterest-y bs. But she does do all kinds of cute and creative and fun things with her three kids. I've never heard her judge or engage in "mommy war" talk.

She doesn't have a glamorous or high intellect job - but a good career that she nonetheless kicks butt at, often getting promoted and wooed by other firms based on her reputation. She has more true blue friends than anyone I've known. I think what it comes down to is that she loves her life and being a working mom, and that radiates off of her. People respond to that.
