What Posh Spice Really Deserves.
My best friend (currently quite pregnant with her fourth) sent me an article about Victoria Beckham saying she “earned” an easy baby with the most recent birth of her daughter because her sons were “hard work.” *cough* NANNY *cough* Oh honey, as the mom of two daughters? She may be an easy baby but do you ever have it coming to you. As I continued to read the article she giggled about getting out of an elastic waist clothing and back into fashionable clothing after working out with her personal trainer SIX TIMES A WEEK.
Oh Posh. I’ve earned a personal trainer. I’ve earned a nanny to watch my kids while I’m with my personal trainer. I’ve also earned a nutritionist and personal chef…but that doesn’t mean I get them. On and on I went with my grumpy glasses on until I laid down with my little Vivi and realized what Ms. Beckham really deserves.
You have four kids. You deserve elastic waist pants. I know it’s fun to dress up, but kids don’t need a fancy mom, they need a comfy mom.
You deserve an entire day to lie around the house with your kids doing nothing but silliness and enjoy yourselves.
You deserve to take a nap with your baby everyday. They are only little for so long.
You deserve a day to not be “Posh Spice.” You deserve a day you can just go to the park with your family and enjoy it like the rest of us common folk do. You deserve not to have paparazzi follow your every move and judge your every clothing decision.
You deserve friends who don’t care a lick about what you’re wearing as long as you’re wearing a smile on your face. Unless you’re sad, then you deserve friends who will make you feel better. But you kind of always look sad, or mad…you should work on that.
You deserve every bit of happiness that motherhood has to offer. You shouldn’t be judged by stay at home moms in Indiana wearing stained t-shirts and their husband’s basketball shorts.
I hope you enjoy your job as much as I do. And if anyone can find a way to make elasticized clothes fashionable? It’s you.
We’re counting on you to bring baggy back.

Bridget commented on Sep 13 11 at 8:36 amMy post-baby body looks better than my pre-baby body. And I’m ok with that. And not getting all those things I “deserve”.
Sara T. commented on Sep 13 11 at 8:51 amFantastic! I was getting all PO’ed and then you switched gears on me and I was all “Wow… Posh does deserve all those wonderfully normal things that us stretchy pants Mommies take for granted!”. Well, in my case today, a little-too-snug pencil skirt Mommy. I love it! Thanks for a look on the bright side! :)
emily commented on Sep 13 11 at 9:09 amDo you think she eats leftover chicken enchiladas smothered in Tabasco sauce at 9am, like I just did? I hope so, it’s a fantastic life.
Ami commented on Sep 13 11 at 10:19 amI say elastic pants for everyone!
Selena Mae commented on Sep 13 11 at 10:31 amlove it! every single last word…
Em commented on Sep 13 11 at 10:40 amI like how you said “as the mother of 2 daughters…” your second daughter is a baby you don’t really have any idea either, so don’t act like you do.
Lindsay commented on Sep 13 11 at 12:03 pmBazinga! This is awesome, so I shared.
I kindof love you a little more every day. That is all.
Rebecca commented on Sep 13 11 at 1:35 pmSo, at what point is Casey able to claim that she has two daughters? Vivi doesn’t count because she’s too little? At six months she becomes a full fledged person? At a year Casey’s able to claim to have two daughters?
Also, you might want to readjust your judgy pants and reread the article because I think you missed the point.
Jennifer commented on Sep 13 11 at 8:53 pmFunny stuff! She had a reality show at one point, not shocking that I watched it some, but she wasn’t quite so sad/mad looking on the show. She actually said it was part of the roll she plays for the media. Her and her crew actually spent quite a bit of time playing pranks. Made me like her a little more. Maybe she does the normal mom stuff and we just don’t see it? Or maybe not.
