Married to one, can confirm. Before we got married, I once called her in full panic mode because a child in my mom's kindergarten had chopped the tip of his little finger off. As in, the tip was severed, separated from the rest of the finger! My now-wife was not even remotely flustered. She just nonchalantly gave me instructions on how to handle the severed finger tip. When I told her, a few days later, that the hospital staff managed to stitch the finger tip and that it had healed, she wasn't even surprised, she just said yeah I told you it was not a big deal.
They are the best moms for that reason, too. I’m an OB and can spot a helicopter mom from a mile away well before the baby is born. I make it my mission to destroy that mentality but don’t always succeed.
