Well it is Mother’s Day for those who celebrate. But there are so many types of mothers out there, aren’t there? Sure there are lesbian mothers who have children. However, there are also Mommis. There are, too, Mothers. There are Dog Moms, and Cat Moms. There are Daddys. There is the lesbian polar bear mom on Peppa Pig. With so many Moms out there, it’s time to figure out — which one are you?

Gay Auntie: Is your life constantly in transition? SURE. Do you lose track of time a lot? Of course! Does that stop you from taking especially good care of everybody and everything that you love? (Including everybody else’s cute babies?) It does not.
This was the goal the whole time
happy to provide this affirmation 4 u!
I got Mother Earth which makes A LOT of sense but I would’ve also settled for Trader Joe’s mommi if that were an option (ie crunchy, goes to Trader Joe’s right after the gym, would absolutely make homemade snacks for her children and pets)
how much time of her wild and precious life does the average trader joes mommi spend trying to navigate the trader joes parking lot do you imagine because i bet its a lot and mommis deserve rest!
Wow I got Mommi. At the old age of 31 have I finally made it?
yes
I am a cat mom!!!!!!! This is true I love cats so so so so so so so much. When I took this quiz I had a cat sleeping on my arm under the blanket and as I’m writing this comment the same cat is sleeping on my stomach. Genuinely excited to never date again but just fill my life with cats. Also what is it with Autostraddle quizzes just giving the most delicious evocative food descriptions?? I thought this was a Kayla thing but here I am getting all hungry again! 😱
well kayla is the true foodie but also i decided to become a cook last year to Do The Cooking For the Family so now i’ve become very interested in menus and recipes! sometimes if i can’t think of something just from my own head I will think of where I think this specific Result might go out to eat and then look at that place’s menu and mash something up from there.
also i am v happy 4 u and your CATS
omg wishing you all the best in your journey of Doing The Cooking For The Family!
I got cat mom , which I’ll take, even though my last cat died 10 years ago.
The first half of this is eerily accurate:
“You’re a cozy-ass b*tch who loves to nest and craft and plan little parties and you would not say no to a rescue kitten and you will always say yes to cats!!! YES CATS“
If we’re self reporting, I’d say I’m a plant mom with a gay auntie wing.
I got Mommy polar bear from Peppa Pig! I was not expecting this and had forgotten about her This is so amazing! We both wear glasses too!
LOL, I’m a cat mom. 100% accurate as I watch my two fur kids sitting next to me while I work. 😸
“Daddy? You’re hot. You’re a grown-ass adult. You don’t fear vulnerability. You are calm, cool, collected, and the master of your domain. (In a hot way)”
Did not expect to get this, particularly as I hit my I just turned 40 crisis of what am I doing with my life, but I’m glad fake it til you make it is maybe still working for me even as my mind feels like it’s melting?
Those food descriptions were so specific and enticing, I DO want a kale salad with pepitas, pomegranate, lemon vinaigrette and a side of crusty bread, damnit!
Dog Mom. True, but I have two human children and am a big crunchy hippie Brooklynite plant Mom too, so I’m surprised that didn’t get reflected. Maybe this is aspirational: my kids are getting pretty old now, so my nest will be more empty soon and I could consider filling it with more dogs… Are there dogs who don’t bark at every living thing sharing a Brooklyn residential street? I’ll take that kind.
