I knew a alpha mom on a forum I used to chat on, from the outside her life looked perfect .. 4 kids she was 28, thin, beautiful, handsome husband, great big house and she came on the forum and went batshit one day talking about how her whole life is trying to appear like the perfect family and how she really is a wreck ... all alpha moms are the same and have HUGE insecurity complexes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472738462670456793.post-44722306271940523752008-10-22T14:00:00.000-04:002008-10-22T14:00:00.000-04:00Okay, I think I started out a alpha Mom in 1997 wi...Okay, I think I started out a alpha Mom in 1997 with kid#1 but b the third I slid into a ceta (below beta).<BR/><BR/>Kim3 Peanutshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124969727188599965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472738462670456793.post-11693995942070096112008-10-01T20:25:00.000-04:002008-10-01T20:25:00.000-04:00alpha moms =Bree Van de Kamp Hodge nee Masonand lo...alpha moms =<A HREF="http://desperate.wikia.com/wiki/Bree_Hodge" REL="nofollow">Bree Van de Kamp Hodge nee Mason</A><BR/><BR/>and look what happened to her!<BR/><BR/>TV is always true, as is http://starcasm.net<BR/><BR/>she did eventually turn to alcohol, being an alpha mom can do that to youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472738462670456793.post-17757289808708193032008-08-27T09:40:00.000-04:002008-08-27T09:40:00.000-04:00Let me try this again....first of all I love your ...Let me try this again....first of all I love your blog! Glad I found it! Your latest blog about words that should exist is perfect. <BR/>Now, as far as the Alpha Beta thing. I recently took a job as the Web Manager at Alphawomen.com. I worked my fingers to the bone helping to promote and editing bad content...well, shitty writing! It was coming along. Alpha. Alpha. Alpha. It was cult-like. Was I an Alpha? I'm not sure. But yesterday I was given the boot for "financial reasons" but I think it's my outspoken nature (I wasn't to have opinions on a site that touts freedom of speech?) and my forward thinking that got me the axe. <BR/>It wasn't the axe that hurt...it was the backhanded way it was done and how my writing was now put under the founder's name. Ugly stuff that's not worth yapping about.<BR/><BR/>So I walk away wondering AM I AN ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA or just a MOM?? I'm so confused. haha. All I know is I am outspoken, a tad sarcastic (who me??) and most days I laugh so hard that it hurts. I'm strong (raising 5 children on my own...two are already grown and successful), I'm savvy (is that multi-tasking) and yes, I have a glue gun. But it's mostly to hold my eyelids up because I am always trying to make the day a bit longer.<BR/><BR/>Your blog is so great. You've inspired me to figure out who the hell I am...alphabetagamma chick?thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115953962241756258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472738462670456793.post-89645194985733364842008-08-25T22:41:00.000-04:002008-08-25T22:41:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08115953962241756258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472738462670456793.post-45454522074290886592008-08-24T01:28:00.000-04:002008-08-24T01:28:00.000-04:00ummm....yeah.

I have told so many of my "girlies" about your amazing site, and they call me cackling with laughter! You ROCK, Sue! As my photo attests, I am an obvious "Beta". By the way, you can eat off the floors of my SUV...literally...there are Goldfish (the crackers, usually), dead bagel chunks, petrified gummy bears, and other unidentified items that belong in a penecillin lab.

That seems like enough to deal with this week.I Am Boymomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15325620257808590423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472738462670456793.post-26506401044229838732008-08-22T18:51:00.000-04:002008-08-22T18:51:00.000-04:00HAHA!!!This is the best read all day!
