Wake Up Q

Chick Chat: Are you a “Competitive Mom”?

Being a great mom isn’t a competition.  You either agree with that, or you’re thinking, “Yeah, it’s not a competition because no one could compete with ME.”  Because you’re one of those annoying mothers who thinks it IS a competition.

A new survey asked people to name the biggest signs of a super competitive mom.  Check out the top 10 . . .

1.  You line up early to get front row seats to the school play.

2.  You try to beat the other parents at family events like three-legged races.

3.  You make sure your kids have the latest gadgets.

4.  You go overboard on presents for your kids’ teachers.

5.  You constantly brag about your kids on Facebook.

6.  You always drive the newest car.

7.  You call your kids’ teachers by their first names, to show how well you know them.

8.  You make fancy desserts for your kid to pass out on their birthday.

9.  You make ridiculous stuff for bake sales.

10.  You spend weeks making handmade costumes for school plays.
