28 Signs You May Be a ‘GIRL MOM’ – Contributor Post for Portland Moms Blog

August 8, 2016

This is a contributor post I wrote for the Portland Moms Blog. Read the entire article here.

There have been many viral posts written about being a ‘boy mom.’ Mothers glance lovingly at their raucous little men, and say things like, “Oh, he’s all boy,” and talk about how they are ‘noise with dirt on them,’ they make weapons out of everything, and the never-ending potty-talk.

My youngest is a boy, so I have experienced this first-hand, but before he was born, I also had two girls. And just like those boy moms, each girl mom has their own, defining experiences. Here are 28 ways that prove you might be a girl mom:

27. The highest compliment you can receive from your girl(s) is that you look “pretty.”

26. Emotions rule everything, all the time.

25. When little girlfriends come for play dates, every pink plate, cup, baby doll, and princess dress is fought over.

24. You quit buying pants after they were three-years-old because they only wear dresses anyway.

23. You quit buying clothes after they were three-years-old because they’ll only wear DRESS UP dresses.

22. They (try to) pick out your clothes, shoes, jewelry, hairstyle, and makeup for you.

21. You have daily, tearful arguments over not being allowed to wear their tap, ballet, or jazz shoes all over the house and outside.

20. You’ve noticed the fact that there are no clothes in stores that do not include some sort of pink, frilly, or princess in their size.

19. Body issues and friend/enemy drama starts in preschool.

18. You find hair things everywhere in the house, car, and outside.

17. If she has hair, you find it everywhere in the house, car, and outside.

16. You know the difference between Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash.

15. Crying is a real and proper response to anything and everything.

14. Whining is too.girl-mom4
