INFP (tested) mother to my ENTP self.
One thing that I really developed, and well, was Ne. Hers was off-the chain, in a whimsical, dreamy-like manner, and coupled that with my dad's tertiary Ne (ESTJ), which was more on the edgier, trickster (and practical) side......my Ne got fed, well, and often.
There was a lot of reading in my childhood, storybooks galore. She read to me, when I was eating (to get me to take a bite), on the bus to school, to grandma's house, when I was falling asleep, reading, reading......
We'd go on the adventures that was premised in the book, and 'make it our own'.
She also was into putting me in all different classes as she could schedule in, that let me express myself in as many ways as possible. I was put in singing (that didn't last long, as per my
talents), dancing, drawing/art classes, and, swimming classes.
Was a disciplinarian but wasn't very consistent with it. I remember a few times, I'm crying getting disciplined, and she is too.
She can be quite judgemental, and sometimes irrational, if she gets stuck in one of her Fi-motivated stance, but, she's really one of the gentlest person I know (and my friends, or those who met her, would agree). It's easy to sucker in her morality, so even if she is judgemental, and then she feels really horrible about herself. She's a moral rational.
She is not good at standing up for herself, unless it's really important (then, she's fierce); in that, for little things, she knows full well what the other is doing, but will get 'walked-over' by others.
She is very aware of people's feelings at the individual level. She'll always give thoughtful cards to me, every birthday, and there must be my favourite food made on my birthday, and a cake (no matter how old, every birthday).
Way too head-in-clouds, like, coming back from a party, wearing two different shoes and not even noticing (one her own, the other, another random person's...not even the same size really), finding weird stuff in the fridge where it doesn't belong cuz she accidently left it there, sometimes forgets to even look both ways at the road before crossing.....
Yet, she's exceptionally smart, not street-smart at all (that's my dad), but, book-smart. She excelled in school, throughout all her life, up until her PhD.
She loves looking for the charm in life, in others. She's very into spirituality, not just dogmatic religion, but, philosophical sprituality, she loves talking about that kind of stuff.
To get a hint of her personality, one of her all-time fave movie is:
Little Miss Sunshine.
She's my most favourite person in the whole wide world. Couldn't have asked for a better mom.
