What Is a Type-C Mom? (And Why She’s Tired, Self-Aware, and Still Snuggling at 9:45 PM)

You’ve probably heard of Type A personalities—high-achievers, organized, sharp-cornered calendar queens.
And Type B—more laid-back, go-with-the-flow, "we’ll figure it out" types.

But what if you’re somewhere in between?
You like structure—but also believe in spontaneous snuggles.
You plan birthday crafts—but half the time they stay in your head.
You were probably once a full-blown Type A, but now… you’re just trying to give your kids what you didn’t have growing up.

Enter: the Type-C Mom.

She’s the one who sets routines but allows wiggle room.
She tries hard not to yell—and when she does, she circles back to repair.
She rarely says no without guilt.
She’s the mom who’s doing the inner work, breaking cycles, and balancing on the wobbly edge of “I’ve got this” and “please send help.”

Let’s talk about what this type of mom looks like—and why so many are quietly overwhelmed, even while showing up with love.
