You scored 50% You're DAUGHTER DEAREST
Open to suggestion from your mother, but confident in your own child-rearing style. Sometimes your mum's words plop out of your mouth (it happens to all of us; you one of the few who is brave enough to admit it). Luckily, though, you can laugh it off - and accept that she does know a thing or two about kids.
It's only a problem if: your mum takes advantage of your easy-going nature. On the whole, though, having your baby has enhanced your relationship with your own mum. You learn from her positive qualities, and neatly discard the rest.
Balancing act: Not a problem here. Just be wary of compromising your own values in order to keep your mum sweet.

A SHEEP IN MUM'S CLOTHING
No bad thing necessarily. Look back at your childhood; chances are it was awash with love and affection. Sure, you're becoming more like your mum by the minute. But you can think of no better role model.
It's only a problem if: Your partner objects to your mother's influence on family matters. She may also undermine your confidence by taking over (whose children are they anyway?).
Balancing act: While it's great to enjoy a supportive relationship, don't take every word from your mum as gospel. Attitudes have changed radically since the 50s/60s/70s. You may rely heavily on your mum due to lack of confidence in your parenting abilities; widen your sources of support/info so you can keep her influence in context.
You scored 25% You're MOTHER SUPERIOR
Determined to carve out your own parenting style. You cannot abide your mother barging in. What does she know? Look how you turned out. Nothing will make you emulate your mum. In fact, you're so adamant about rejecting her influences, it's a wonder you're on speaking terms.
It's only a problem if: you don’t mind missing out on the good stuff too (the fact that she's been there, done that, and might genuinely have your best interests at heart).
Balancing act: Our own childhood plays a huge part in shaping our personalities as adults. It would be remarkable if your mum didn’t influence you a little. Yes, you can reject her attitudes - but still allow her to offer help, support and friendship.
Thanks Meagan that was fun.
