I noticed something…

When I’m out with my son, I get some odd stares. Almost like “ I hope that’s her little brother” stares. It’s quite annoying at times. I’ve grown to get used to it but I feel especially awkward when I take my son to the park.

So I took Izzy to the park. It’s this beautiful LA park fenced in so the kids can’t run out. There’s palm trees and the entire playground is on nice warm sand. I was so excited to have discovered it. I was glad to see Izzy playing with other toddlers. But I noticed one thing:

I was the youngest mom there.

All the moms are chatting and making small talk, letting other toddlers play with their kids sand toys. Izzy would ease in to play with another kids toys and I get these funny looks from this moms. They’re all usually white or Asian but I’ll be sitting right there in the mom circle and they’re talking about general mom stuff and even if I try to engage it’s like I’m a damn alien.

I didn't understand why at first but then I thought a little bit and came to the inevitable conclusion that…

they’re just jealous.

What I know for a fact is, I’m prettier than most of these middle aged moms. I’m more fit, more energetic and they envy me. They’re probably cranky cause they’re going through menopause while my sex life is quite alive and well.

I know there’s a lot of negative stigma attached to being a young mom. They think we’re stupid and incapable of raising a child, but you know what I’d say to them?

You’re probably gonna die first… at least naturally ;)
