I would definitely call myself a slacker mom.  I don't know if my kids are better off for it - but I think in the long run, it will benefit them to have had the chance to make mistakes, learn from them, and work things out for themselves.  That's what I keep telling myself, anyway.

I am a proud slacker mom, or I would be if I could get motivated to get the t-shirts made.  Jillian rolls around on the floor more often than not, and I am usually found somewhere nearby, probably with the computer in my lap.  Should I be engaging her more and maybe signing or teaching her Chinese or something?  Maybe - but when I do manage to get her attention she looks at me like "Mama, I'm busy trying to chew on the vertical blinds!  Leave me alone!"

I don't think it matters whether one is an alpha or beta mom or even a zeta mom.  We're all muddling thru and there are things all of us can learn from each other or skip entirely.  I think it's more important to try our best than try to figure out who is best.  What matters most is that we all open our gift of parenting and enjoy it as much as possible!

We're all doing a damn better job than we give ourselves credit for doing or what others might give us credit for doing.  I'm just gonna take the "So What!" approach and do what works for my family and let others do what works for them.  I live with my family not theirs and vice versa.  

Live and let live and support each other whenever possible.  It makes the world a happier place for our kids when the adults can play well with other.
