Screener Questionnaire
In the Quotas section of a screener questionnaire, mothers are classified as "achievement moms", "relationship moms" and "resourcefull moms". None of these make sense to me. With a wild guess, I interpret a "relationship mom" to be a mother who cares after and/or maintains a relationship with her child successfully/as it should be. Am I on the wrong path? Urgent help needed. TIA.

mom that strives for success
This might be done vicariously through her children, or potentially to get attention from others for being the super mom that transports her child/ren everywhere to all the different socially acceptable activities (sports teams, cheerleading, etc.)

: I think primarily through getting her children to achieve - in school, sport etc. And this is why she has to be a super mom as you so rightly point out.
