7 Wild Mom Types

Octopus Mom

Whether it's soccer balls, playdates, lice-lady duty or the carpool schedule, this mom knows how to juggle a thing or two for the sake of her children's well-being. While the Octopus Mom easily adapts to any child-centric environment, she's most at home behind the wheel of her minivan driving children to after-school programs or on the soccer pitch, where she stands with the dreaded snack list. Her kids get lots of ribbons for participating.
