In this case 'like mother like daughter' is not ideal.
While the New York Times has no problem high-fiving adult women who wear kids clothing, just like Koa Beck over at Mommyish, I think it’s gross.
It’s particularly offensive in the case of anorexic mother, Rebecca Jones. As the Daily Mail reports, the 26-year-old tried on her 7-year-old daughter, Maisy’s skirt one day and it fit perfectly. They’ve been sharing clothes ever since.
The fact that she can fit into her daughter’s clothes isn’t offensive, that’s tragic more than anything as eating disorders are deadly, it’s her attitude that’s disgusting.
“‘Wearing the same clothes as Maisy gives me a sense of pride,” Jones tells the Daily Mail. “It’s wrong, but it makes me feel good. I don’t think I’m thin – I always see myself as bigger.” Continue reading »
This is one status update that one mom's sons definitely won't be liking.
Parents have done it before. Lied about where they live so their children can attend a specific school. They use the addresses of friends or relatives in order to fool school districts with boundary rules.
But one Tennessee mom busted her own sons when she scolded them about messy rooms using – get this – Facebook.
Should your kids serve you?
Motherhood is hard work. It’s said that to have a child is to let your heart walk around outside your body for the rest of your life. We are in some sense totally given to the little people we produce, every moment of every day, from birth.
That doesn’t mean we have to do their laundry. There’s a growing dissension in the ranks of mothers. As Mother’s Day approaches, some moms are talking about taking off, not just for a day but permanently. Resigning as household CEO and taking a break while their families care for themselves for a change.
This sounds liberating, but be careful what you wish for. I’m not sure quitting the drudgery of motherhood is such a good idea.
Is Breastfeeding a crime?
Here we go again! This week a New Jersey mother enjoying donuts, and coffee with a friend and their children had the police called on them for breastfeeding in public.
While there are several conflicting reports of the story, the mother involved shared her tale on the popular website for mothers Cafemom, a story which has since been removed. Continue reading »
If you’re pregnant, you’ve probably given a lot of thought to how you want your birth to go. You might even be one of the many women who has drafted a birth plan to record her preferences on things like pain management, medical interventions and breastfeeding.
But what about the guest list? BlogHer’s Melissa Ford asks if you’d let your mother-in-law watch your birth. Who do you think belongs in the delivery room with you?
A growing crop of young women are taking up the narrative of marriage on their blogs. Some are mothers, some are not. Some are not even married, just fascinated by the concept.
What they have in common is a focus on being a wife and homemaker. They’re pushing buttons for women who resent being defined by their marriages, and finding an audience in those who revel in these roles.
38-year-old Debra Ayala Tapia is pregnant with a fourth child, which normally would be cause to celebrate. Problem is, Debra just got out of prison on $100,000 bail and the baby’s father is a 15-year-old neighbor boy. Oh yeah, she’s also married. Continue reading »
