As kids, we don’t sit around analysing our moms like characters in a psychology book. We just live with them, fight with them, and eventually, slowly, start connecting the dots. At some point, you realise that your childhood wasn’t random—it was shaped by the kind of mother you had. Types of parenting styles might sound like neat labels from a textbook, but in real life, they feel more like memories, habits, and those weird little patterns that suddenly make sense.As we celebrate Mother’s Day on May 10 this year, this soft reflection is perfect for celebrating not just “mom,” but the unique type of mother you grew up with.
