A look at the fascinating and sometimes infuriating sub-culture of Mothers..from the soon-to-be published THE MOMMY MAFIA by LJ Charleston - publication date early 2013 - with more than 100 different categories of weird and wonderful moms. From Horny mom (isn't motherhood the best time to start sleeping around?) to Olympic mom (My child was walking at nine months, what's wrong with yours?)

Remember, in motherhood, a woman is more dangerous than a shotgun.

If you thought meeting the parents was tough, now it's time to meet the mommies.

Olympic Mom

It's always a delight bumping into Olympic Mom. Yes, the lady who delights in telling me that her having kids 15 months apart is 'harder' than having twins. Back then I stopped myself from reminding her my twins were born TWO MINUTES apart because no matter what I say, she will one-up me. Motherhood is the biggest race of her life, nobody can beat her. She even told a mother of quadruplets that having 4 kids in 5 years is 'much much harder" than having four babies at once. The quads mom could only manage a weak comeback, "Um. it wasn't having 4 buns in the oven."

Having only a sweet Birman cat to mother I can only imagine what it must be like to have twins or triplets or more! Albeit as the childless child in the family, I am busy. The responsibility to look after my ailing, frail and impossibly difficult aging parents is automatically thrown my way. Just like the age old adage.. where there's a vacuum, something will fill it!.
