Since we're all mothers here at lolinministry, we thought we'd share a post in honor of Mother's Day. Here are a few of the Mom Stereotypes that exist, not that these apply to any of us.
Overprotective Mom
(New driving teenager going to the store alone for the first time)
Stephanie: Because you can't actually lie through text. 🙄
Jill: No need for the texting. In this day and age there's an app for that.
Clean freak Mom
(You walk through this house wondering if anyone even lives there)
Kylee: ain't nobody got time for that.
Stephanie: not gonna lie.. I do feel this way about my kids toys.
Experienced Mom
(the all too honest ones at the mommy and me dates)
Kylee: so encouraging
Crier Mom
(she's only watching her kids' kindergarten graduation... When they're twenty-five)
Kylee: don't judge. This would probably be me.
Stephanie: this is not planet fitness. We are not judgment free.
Kylee: it's the graduation song. It makes you feel all emotional inside.
Optimistic Mom
Jill: Clearly this is her first child.
Cool Mom
(at least, she thinks so)
Stephanie: what's wrong with cake for breakfast??
Rage Mom
(when they dumped out their crayons for the 47th time)
Kylee: or when they put their daddy's headphones in the full bath tub.
Jill: or when they think the kitchen table is their bedroom.
Germophobe Mom
(she just found a reptile in the pocket of her son's pants whole she's doing laundry)
Jill: Boys will be boys.
Stephanie: you don't have to be germophobe for that to gross you out.
Kylee: ditto
Smother Mom
Jill: if they never feel that way, then you're not doing a good job.
Just for the record, we don't personally identify with any of these moms. Do you?
Happy Mothers' Day from all of us here at lolinministry!
Sometimes I think I identify with the rage mom. I find myself saying things like “why do I have to re-do what I’ve already re-done 12 times!?”, followed by an eye roll and a heavily irritated sigh. Someday I will live in a clean house though, I’m convinced.
