There’s nothing wrong with being a mama bear, y’all – it’s instinct, born of years of evolution. We want to be able to protect our babies from any bad thing that might come their way, even though we know that’s an impossible task.

But what if you love your kids like whoa and would do anything for them, but you’re a bit more chill than a bear. Like…you wouldn’t attack someone on sight just for getting too near your kid and offering them a snack, but people still definitely don’t want to mess with you.

You might be a mama llama. Read on to find out if that’s you!

Scraped knees and dirty clothes are going to happen. It’s part of childhood, and you’ll be ready with the peroxide and band-aids when they get home.

You’re big on letting your kids be kids, but that doesn’t mean you’re not watching. And that sometimes, your cool runs straight away.

Sometimes there’s time to pick up every little thing, and sometimes it’s all you can do to make it until bedtime. It is what it is, right?

#6. You’re not really social, but you’re not bothered by it.

It’s nice to have a few close friends to share your motherhood experience with, but bingeing Netflix in sweats with a glass of wine is how you prefer to spend whatever free time you manage to find.

I mean, it has some of the major food groups and bonus, your kids can make it for themselves.

Your Pinterest board is as pretty and full as the next mom’s, but most of the recipes gather virtual dust while you run for donuts before it’s your turn to bring snacks.

It’s all you ask of your kids, your spouse, and of yourself. What else can we do, after all?
