Yep, an "optimizer" describes my style for sure... I think the quiz was pretty good for appealing to such a diverse crowd of ladies. I plan ahead and am as prepared as a Girl Scout, but never freak out if my son stays up too late or if he falls asleep on the couch right before dinner. While I like having some control, I also like going with the flow... yep, an Optimizer.

What a stupid quiz. First its geared toward moms only. Dads are parents too, than you very much. I also don't appreciating the quippy small minded stero-typical "humor" in the questions....but I guess if I like intelligent humor without stereo types, I should not be reading this magazine.

This quiz was pretty accurate to my parenting style, but since he has gotten a little bigger I find it harder to be the planner that I once was. Hopefully I can get back to planning like I use to!

This quiz for parenting type is only applicable to mom's with their first baby. Once your kids are beyond the walking stage, it seems the quiz isn't applicable anymore. Should have a subtitle on the parenting quiz to let folks know.
