As for how she likes motherhood, Carey quipped, "I don't wanna say they're my friends because then they're like, 'urgh my mom's corny,'" before citing the iconic Mean Girls phrase, "I'm not a regular mom, I'm a cool mom!"

The former spouses have remained somewhat friendly since their split, as Carey decided not to file for primary custody of their children despite rumors she had been planning to earlier this year.

The co-parents settled on a joint custody agreement after they called it quits in 2014, however, Carey had recently wanted to renegotiate since the twins "are usually with Mariah anyway," an insider previously explained.

"She wants to put him on notice that he can't just flit in and out of their lives while he attends to his other children," the source added regarding the dad-of-12.

Plus, her boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka, had reportedly "wanted her to go for full custody so he could get some space from Nick," the confidante confessed, claiming the backup dancer "is tired of feeling like second best" to the father of Carey's children.
