Something a friend Facebooked me today. Haven't read it yet, but it sounded somewhat interesting, even though I'm guy and childless...

SFP - The “Giving” Mother
(Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving)

“A people pleaser from Day One, it took me 30 years to figure out I could say ‘no.’”

Quiet and unassuming in her devotion, the ISFP mother is responsive to her children’s needs, offering behind-the-scenes love and support. She is gentle and non-intrusive, flexible and adaptable.
A “be there” mother, the ISFP takes pleasure in physically caring for her children and doing for them. Her best times might be “doing little things” with each child one-on-one.
More than anything, the ISFP mother wants her children to know they are loved. And she enjoys being needed in return.
Dedicated to raising children who are responsible and care for others, she favors a non-directive approach: instilling values by setting a good example. She may be a strong role model for community service.

This describes my mom pretty well. Her giving nature is her strength and her weakest point. I totally agree with the last 2 sentences. She's incapable of making enemy, people only respect her. She teaches by being an example, she wouldn't know any other way.

I took this last night and got ISTP. I found this to be fairly believable or accurate. I was always comfortable with giving each kid their own space, downtime, interests. I think part of that is because I was an only child and my mother was also an only child into her teens and we did have a mutual understanding of downtime and space (added to that was that she was a night person and I was always a morning person).

Having three kids genrally involved 3-5 extra curricular activities daily, being self employed, having a fair amount of animals, mowing acreage, and trying to have your own life involves alot of S. Add in general laundry, sports laundry (endless), and who likes to eat what food...ALOT of S.

Two of my kids are I's (major homebodys) and the youngest measures 50/50 but he must be an E, he was born a group activity. It was very normal for him to have 15-25 kids over at once. One was here so often I went out and bought him a bed (an only boy with identical twin sisters neither of whom ever stopped talking - both at the same time).

Right now I am at the odd period where my kids have become adults and thought they did not have to do anything they did not want. That makes a household chaotic. So I did get them all to move out which is it's own kind of turbulance. They have suddenly become aware of just how much schtuff they had here and the costs and effort it takes for daily living. Both of my sons have shared their shock at the cost of groceries (No kidding, kids). These are guys that two weeks ago wouldn't pick up a plate, a spill, or wash a dish (not how they were raised).

I wish I were a touchy feely Mom, I they do have a better advantage, but I guess it is just not in my make up.

P.S. Both boys were here Sunday to move more of their stuff (like 50 gallon salt water aquariums) and when they hit the kitchen door I heard "Oh, this house smells sooo good"..homemade soup, which they used to get routinely.

I did it just for fun and apparently, I'm an INTP mom.

It sounds about right (for right now). I've been leaning pretty heavily on the Ti lately, anyway.

No need to post a pic.

Rule 34, m'dear (if you can think of it, there's porn of it).

Nothing against anyone who likes that sort of thing, but it ain't my cup of tea. Other than once in a blue moon as a joke.
