I could be totally wrong, but given what you've said about having 4 sons and a large dog (or more?), I'm guessing that you have a pretty active, roll-with-the-punches household, linny. I'd bet one possible anti-mom for your family would be someone very regimental, emotionally distant, and no sense of humor. Maybe??
