Interesting question. I'm not sure there is one specific mom. I think I admire any mom who is patient because that's what I struggle with the most.

One of my best friends is the mom I admire and hope I'm like. Her kids are older (3.5 and 5.5) and I'm in the thick of infant and toddler-dom (2 and 6 months) so when I am losing it she talks me of the ledge. Her kids are so we'll behaved and I think we're so similar in our parenting and overall life style it's refreshing and gives me hope! She has a demanding job but she's real and handles it all like a boss.

And of course, I admire my mom! My parents were really strict but I think I turned out pretty well. Now I admire the grandmother she is!

Even after a long day at work, she jumps right back into mom mode. It all seems so natural and easy for her. She is incredibly patient, funny, creative, and witty. Her children adore her. She can make light of any situation, laughs at the every day choas, just and rolls with the punches. I aspire to be a mother like her someday.

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.


Do you think or know its authentic? Or is that just the together life she's projecting?


I've known her since we were in middle school. She's the real deal. Her husband struggled to launch a career after an expensive Master's program that didn't really pay off. They were sad and frustrated for a while, but never embarrassed or fatalistic.

Yes. Mom of a large family nearby. Likely a hot mess behind closed doors, but smart as fuck and super clever. I have one and clearly can barely through a sentence together, my synapses rarely connect. That she retains her identity and big gorgeous brainpower after making a handful of tiny thriving humans impresses me beyond words.

Do you have a Mom friend or acquaintance who really seems to have it all together? What do you admire about her?

There's a Mom at my school, parent of one (I think), who just seems to have it all connected. Greets every kid she sees by names, has a full time non-profit job, heads our biggest event of the year.

I'm trying to bath my kids twice a week over here.
