Or maybe I’m neither. If you are in the dark about what an alpha or beta(slacker) mom is then go to this article to get caught up on all this drama & labeling!

Sometimes I think I’m like an Alpha mom and it would appear that I am because

Most of my life is digital, I’m tech savvy, I’m connected to the internet most of the day and I go to sites and blogs for advice.

I’m educated

I run a business online

I spend most of our household money

I feel like everything should be perfect for my kids

One thing I do agree on is this quote from the CBS news website and I think all moms, not just alpha moms, would do this:

“Smith learned that researchers believe that if you satisfy an Alpha Mom, she’ll tell 10 other women. And if you dissatisfy her, she’ll tell 300″.

Then other times I’m a big slacker also known as beta mom

I feed my kids junk food

I let my kids watch Spongebob & tons of other movies while I do necessary work and by necessary work I do not mean clean the house, I mean a job that puts food on our table (and what is wrong with that? I mean, SERIOUSLY?).

We don’t do playgroups

I prefer to let my boys play in the yard instead.

I don’t feel it’s necessary to throw my kids into every extracurricular activity coming and going.

I’m relaxed most of the time and although I do worry about doing everything in my power to raise good children, I don’t go overboard and I’m not over the top on everything that involves my children or how I parent them. I know I can’t be a Supermom.
And, now that I’m getting down to the end of this entry, I realize that none of this labeling really matters anyway. All that matters is that I love my children, support them and who they are as individuals, teach them, be the best I can for them, and spend my time with them. Because all we really have is time and memories.
