Mostly As?
You’re Gwen Stefani
Your life is busy with three young, active children, but it’s also sweet. Not happy with choosing just one name, your little ones have multiple monikers – Stefani is mum to Kingston James McGregor Rossdale, Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale and Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale. Home life is hectic and some may describe your kids as ‘spirited’ but there’s a definite soft side to your world: extended breastfeeding, baby-carrying and night-time snuggles are all part of your family’s package.
Mostly Bs?
You’re Miranda Kerr
You aim to live as wholesomely as possible and you try not to let anything that’s not organic pass your lips, let alone those of your child! A natural birth was part of your plan, as is extended breastfeeding and ‘attachment’ parenting. You love spending time with your baby and like to get out in nature with bubs as much as possible. You and your baby live in your own bubble of love and you’re not going to burst that anytime soon.
Mostly Cs?
You’re Kim Kardashian
You love your baby and you are confident you know what’s right for her. Your choice of name may have caused waves but you didn’t care because that’s no-one’s business apart from yours and your partner’s. You believe in routines and would never let your little one sleep anywhere other than her cot. You love dressing your baby up in the latest fashions and can’t wait to add to your brood with more stylish bubs…
Mostly Ds?
You’re Angelina Jolie
You have a really big family – or are at least planning on having a big family, but no matter what the brood’s current size, you see your role as a mother as one of the most important things you do and are grateful for the privilege. You love travelling with your kids and exposing them to different cultures and levels of wealth. Parenting is a real partnership in your family and you expect your partner to pull his weight. Luckily for you, this happens… most of the time!
