1. The ‘I can do it all’ Mom 

She juggles her kids, her husband and maybe even a career. And she even has the time to chronicle her preparation for the Standard Chartered marathon as well as her kid’s school fundraiser.

   Her typical Facebook post Just got back from fetching the kids from school, will be sending them to piano and creative writing class in abit.

Also finally got round to making that batch of red velvet cupcakes Martha Stewart has been raving about!

2. The 'kancheong' Mom 

This mom is constantly worried that her kid is not doing well enough in school, sports, CCA, tuition, piano etc. And she always asks for advice and posts questions online.

Her typical Facebook post My daughter just said her Science exam paper was really hard, did your children also think so? I’m worried she won’t get to go to Raffles, what other schools should I consider for her?"

3. The ‘I Love Deals’ Mom

This mom is a fan and subscribes to all deal sites such as Groupon, Dealguru, BigDeal etc. She is also the first to join any contests that is giving away freebies, prizes or samples. She’s the type who will also recommend that you join the contests as well to up her chances of winning.

Her typical Facebook post ‘Check out this awesome new deal on Groupon, you get to go on holiday to Bangkok for only $150! Wow!!!’

4. The ‘Quote-a-lot’ Mom 

 This mom loves to post inspirational quotes on her wall. They range from funny to serious but they all have a message embedded in them, that each individual is special and has the power to change the world.

Her typical Facebook post "It's not only children who grow. Parents do too. As much as we watch to see what our children do with their lives, they are watching us to see what we do with ours. I can't tell my children to reach for the sun. All I can do is reach for it, myself." -- Joyce Maynard

5. The new Mom

This mom will be posting pictures of her baby every day. Her status updates are littered with her baby’s milestones; first step, first word, first time holding a bottle etc. She even counts down the days to the end of her maternity leave, gushing over how much she will absolutely miss her little one.

Her typical Facebook post My little angel just turned 3 months! She is such a big girl. I’m going to miss her when I go back to work *sigh* - this is usually accompanied by a collage of her baby’s photos.

6. The competitive/Kiasu Mom

 This mom is similar to the kancheong mom except she has a competitive streak in her. She posts all accomplishments of her child, be it big or small. This is accompanied with pictures of her child carrying their medals/trophies/report card etc.

Her typical Facebook post Henry just won his fifth medal for Sports Day! He also came in first for all round sportsman! I am so proud of my boy! Did I mention he also scored 5 As for his exam!

7. The Mom with a cause or multiple causes 

This mom is a champion of causes, be it breast cancer, underprivileged kids or the SPCA. She reposts status updates from the official Facebook sites of these charities and organisations and ‘likes’ the posts, sometimes commenting on the state of society.

Her typical Facebook post Breast cancer is the leading cancer amongst women! Remember prevention is better than cure. Go and get your mammogram today!

8. The foodie Mom

We all know her, and some of us are her (guilty as charged). This is the mom who takes photos of her food wherever she goes (even at home) and posts them on her wall. She occasionally shares quick recipes that a busy mom can whip up in 10 minutes flat. She also reposts restaurant recommendations from popular food bloggers.

Her typical Facebook post Am at Caffe B at Marina Bay Sands, the hubby surprised me! Ordered the carpassio (insert photo) and it reminds me of Italy! (insert more food photos)

9. The’ yummy mummy’ Mom

This mom loves to post photos of herself. Self-portraits are her favourite. They are usually accompanied by multiple wardrobe changes that show off her stylish taste in clothes and her fit body. (Yes, she is the sexy and I know it mummy)

Her typical Facebook post Just bought a new outfit to match little Tyler! Don’t you think it’s cute? My friend said it reminds her of Victoria Beckham! *blush*

10. The ‘I have a cat-baby’ Mom

Okay, so she might not have a baby, but she has a pet whom she dotes on…excessively. She posts pictures of her cat (s) in cute poses and even dresses it up.

Her typical Facebook post Hachiko soooo thinks he’s a baby! Look at him cuddling under the covers because it’s cold out!
