I stumbled upon your blog and find it absolutely hilarious and entertaining. Your blog is going into my favourites. :-)

I am definitely a ‘real’ mom. I used to go to playgroups or playgrounds and marvel at how most of the other moms were perfectly dressed with done up hair and not one speck of food remnants on their clothes. I can’t make it two seconds without my son wiping his face on my shirt, pulling my hair, or expecting me to chase him. I used to care but now I don’t. I think as long as you have fun with your kids, that’s all that matters.

Real Mom here- stay at home, have own biz, don’t care if I look “perfect”. Love who I am and love being with my kid- more important than being posh or not.
Posh moms don’t bother me- it is okay to get a manicure :-).

I think this is insulting to “non-posh moms” that really care about how they look. I don’t need to go to a salon to make my nails look nice, or throw out my hair dryer just cause I stay at home. I still go to the back of the closet to get out my nice clothes, cause my husband appresiates it when I look nice when he comes home. I like to look good because it make me feel good, and I am more productive. I feel like doing more around the house when I look good. I feel like cooking a nice meal when I look good. And if I go to the store in my “office” clothes, and it bothers you, that is your problem, not mine. Here is my take on this, and all of you that think you need to put a label on Moms like me: Maybe you need to find what will make you feel better. Whether that is putting some nail polish on or putting on a nice outfit that you haven’t worn for a while cause you stay at home now. Maybe it will be taking a bath and slathering lotion all over yourself while the baby is sleeping. Just because you stay at home now doesn’t mean that you have to feel guilty about doing some things just for you. I think you should concentrate on making yourself feel better, and not putting other people down for the lifestyle they choose.

I think some women are afraid of becoming the no-makeup, sweats-wearing sahm they see at the schools. So they go out of their way to appear to be not that stereotype. It’s that facade that is just hard to take. Now, if the mom actually has to go to work after dropping a child off that is another story. I try not to go the sweats route myself, but I still don’t put makeup on!

Not only is your post absolutely hysterical, it made me feel better about not being a “posh mom”! Sometimes I start to compare myself and… well… that never turns out well!

Thank you for giving me a new perspective, even if it was only meant in jest!

I am so not a Posh Mom. I don’t look anything like an actress. I like to shop online, but even then have not done that in a long time as I would rather use that money to get us out of debt. I love Home Depot, DIY Network, Nightgowns, Flannel and ordering a pizza when my husband is actually home. My house is clean but not spotless nor shimmering and I am certainly not fake.

I completely hear what you are saying and do feel that sometimes there is a phoniness that surrounds certain women- women have been told to act a certain way as mothers and so some of us try to do that. You are right, be true to yourself so that you can be happy.

As for those who commented negatively about this post- lighten up. She was writing a funny post just to prove a point. If you are offended, then maybe she hit to0 close to home.

I read the article (including your disclaimer) and all the comments. All I REALLY hear amongst the “real mom” comments is jealousy. So this isn’t really directed at the author of the blog, but all the women spewing non-sense!

I’m a young mother of two. Love my children to death! Does that mean that I can’t love looking good aswell!?! I love shopping, love going to the salon, love keeping my house clean (Really, I LOVE to clean!), love dressing sexy for my husband (not just in the bedroom) love rollin’ my truck and love buying cute clothes for my kids! Loving all those things doesn’t mean I love my kids any less and DOES NOT make me any less of a mother than the ones who don’t care as much about these things as I do! Doing all these things also helps me keep my sanity! I LOVE BEING A SEMI-POSH MOM! THANK YOU!

I also LOVE VB! I think she’s a great mother from the little bit we peons see of her life through PHOTOGRAPHS! You don’t want me judging you because you don’t have a tidy house or wear flannel (ughh!) so why would you turn around and judge her (based upon pictures only) or any other fab looking mother because they DO have a tidy house and look good grocery shopping!?

I find it interesting that you would use Victoria “Posh” Beckham herself! Because of ALL the celebrities with children, she is more often than not photographed WITH her children and WITHOUT a nanny in tow! And why should she smile ALL the time…she’s not on a photo shoot every minute of everyday of her life! But her kids sure do look happy!! She is an A-List celebrity but that DOES NOT by any means make her any less of a mother than any of you!

You all need to stop wasting your energy on hatin’ fellow moms! There are much worse things than looking good on the soccer field, in heels!

~Like totally posh!
