At a party last weekend, I got stuck with “That Mom.” You know, the mom you dread seeing at school functions, birthday parties, playdates, or park outings. So I decided to make a list of the most common types of “That Mom” I’ve come across. This way you can avoid her before she traps you!
Know it all Nicole – This mom is like Kris Jenner, but she won’t take your family to Hawaii. She will, however, advise you how to be a better mom and wife, because frankly, who doesn’t like unsolicited advice on parenting and marriage? She’ll tell you whether you should or shouldn’t vaccinate, how to get whites their whitest, and why you can never go to a drive-thru. If you want her to impart her wisdom elsewhere, bring up a blush-worthy topic like blow jobs. If she doesn’t run for the hills, hear her out — you can never know too much about blow jobs — then bring up vibrators.
PMS Pam – Talking with this “depress-fest” is more sobering than watching an aged Paul McCartney perform live… READ MORE
Yikes. Thanks for writing this. I’m guilty of being each of these moms from time to time! LOL
Oh, Amy aren’t we all? As long as you change it up, I think you’re safe!
Love it! How about Superhero Sally? Ya know, the mom who has 4 kids, rock hard abs and looks like she’s 22. She’s the room Mom, PTA president, girl scout leader and always seems to be on time wearing the latest trendy non-mom clothes. #writtenbySlackerSuzie
UGH we hate her!!! xo #lazyLaura
Too Much Tallulah seemed great at first. She was full of energy, had fun ideas about how to spend time together with the kids, but after a few times out with her you realized….she was exhausting, excessive and expensive. This mom has her kids signed up for art and dance and music and soccer and then some. She arranges play dates at places you would only visit on your kid’s birthdays. The level of excitement her children have come to expect is impossible to keep up with the precedent she has set and you had to jump ship before your kids caught on that there are more exciting things to do that help you fold washcloths and weed the front yard.
Super fun topic, wonderful post!
