I'd like to think I'm pretty balanced overall. I am laid back about alot of things, and like him to figure things out on his own, and at his own pace, but on the other hand, I want to provide structure for him so he's prepared for life.
I said balanced because while I am very laid back about many things I am not laid back about bed time (unless there's an important reason), me time, DD having lots of play opportunities, etc
I'd say in between Mellow and Balanced. I'd actually consider myself balanced, but I'm much more mellow than some moms I know who would call themselves balanced. If that makes any sense.
i think i'm pretty balanced. dh would probably say i'm too controlling....b/c i didn't want to feed him baby food meat until after visiting the dr @ 9 months and getting the ok, i kind of hover if he's trying to stand up and looking a little wobbly, etc.

I'm pretty laid back and I don't stress about him getting dirty, or playing with different things, or having strangers *gasp* touch or hold him!
But, I try to have him on a good nap/bedtime schedule, but I think that's as much for my benefit as his.
I put balanced, but really I'm a pretty perfect mom overall.
