All you people who make fun of Mom Jeans, get a life, okay? Mom jeans are the coolest thing around. A woman who wears Mom jeans is a woman who has her priorities straight. Once upon a time she was a young woman who had no one to think about but herself. She could wear the latest fashions if she wanted. She could buy jeans in three sizes to compensate for monthly fluctuations and strut around in skin tight pants.
Then someone else entered her life, or a multitude of someone elses, and suddenly her belly stretched and her budget shrank. Now instead of buying three sizes, she buys clothes for a child who goes through three sizes in a year. She buys him bicycles and birthday parties and pizza. Meanwhile, as all moms know, her own size can fluctuate from morning until evening. So she wears her pants a little too tight or a little too loose.
Suddenly, skinny jeans are in style, but even skinny moms have learned that comfort is important to a woman who has to bend over the car and buckle kids in and out. Looser pants are much better for playing soccer with her little ones, or attending their games. They are better for sitting on the floor playing cars, and infinitely better for a soft comfortable seat as she reads a story to her children.
By the time the children are teens, they don’t want their own mother to be “hot.” That’s plain embarrassing. Moms of teens are supposed to be invisible. So they oblige. They wear comfortable clothes. They have their priorities in order. They are Moms!
