Turns out, I AM Her - LOL

I was probably the only woman in the theatre, who, when she saw the Cheaper by the Dozen movies thought: "That looks like so much fun. I want to be her!"

Turns out, I am her. LOL- she's my movie mom persona.

What's yours?

Your Movie Mom Personality: Kate Baker, Cheaper by the Dozen

Kate Baker is a busy mother, juggling work and home. Although she is struggling to maintain her own independence, she is completely devoted to her family. Her life may seem harried at times, but she tries to keep it all in perspective by being patient and finding the humor in life's stressful situations. She is a nurturer by nature, but often finds herself doing too much. She is a goal-oriented mom who encourages her children to express their own individuality, but offers them her opinion where she feels it is important.

Kate's light-hearted personality is a positive trait in most situations, but can also be a detriment when it comes to discipline. In trying to keep the tone of the household light, Kate can sometimes be thwarted by her kids. However, this mom's strong sense of family, and calm, rational demeanor is always a winning combination in the end.

I'm Dr. Tess Coleman from Freaky Friday.

Dr. Tess Coleman is a super busy mom juggling a high-powered career, an overscheduled life, and two children. She lives her life by appointments, trying desperately to keep it all organized. In her attempts to have a "scheduled" existence, she often overlooks the more important things in her life -- her children -- and seems to be constantly in motion (and getting nowhere). Her desire to keep everything in control often backfires, and it appears that nothing in her life is truly under control.

Tess is an intelligent, well-educated woman who tends to talk to her children as though they were adults, and is not always the best listener. This kind of mom follows all the rules of motherhood -- teaching them right from wrong, disciplining them, and so on -- but falls short in really getting to know her own children.

On the other hand, Tess has a spirited personality, and a commitment to her family. She knows how to have fun; she just has to be reminded that the work can wait. Keeping it all in perspective is difficult, but she knows how to "cut loose" when she has her family around her. Her carefree spirit rises up from time-to-time and keeps her from letting the stress of her career get the better of her.


Hmmm...not so much like me, especially NOT the first paragraph.

That's funny, I don't really see myself as being that much like her... I'm definitely more of a workaholic and find balancing things a struggle, but that's what the quiz says.
