What’s the mom version of bro-dad?

"basic" mom in yoga pants and a large SUV with overpriced sunglasses and blond hair?

It's wine mom. Leggings, sweatshirt that says "MAMA", Gucci sunglasses, ponytail and "Wine o'clock" tumbler in hand. Bro Dad is catnip to this lady.

She flirts with the male friends of her daughter.

I call them bros and bro-ettes.

“Cool” (in their minds) moms and dads who are obsessed with their kids playing sports who drink too much is the basic idea. Selectively friendly. Totally basic.

And I don't understand how they get their kids to do what they want! There are all these three-kid families where all three kids are star athletes but the parents don't seem all that athletic. They dress the part but they're practically alcoholic (booze at every little league game and even practice) and not exactly fit. None of the kids are "quirky", untalented or uninterested.

So far we’ve identified:

- sports mom
- wine mom
- Sixx Cool moms
- “Mama”
- Mama Bear mom

(Have not even got to Tiger mom yet)

But, are any of these really “bro-moms?”

agree with all of this and laughed at that last part! She drinks a lot of hard seltzer and does cross fit or Pilates or talks about her yoga practice. always has highlights and wears makeup for all occasions. could have some vague business or marketing job. maybe is a closet smoker. no rules for kids.

Isn't a bro mom the mate of a bro dad? That's what these are.

There is a huge group like this in our area. Usually the dads take turns coaching & sitting on the boards of the younger kids sports leagues- their kids are not necessarily athletic but will always play shortstop or quarterback etc. They put a ton of pressure on their kids and the dads berate their kids when they don’t do well. No one says anything. Socially, the parents all drink everywhere and a LOT- while the kids run around left to their own devices. By the time high school runs around, a lot of the kids have quit these sports and moved on to their parents’ fave hobby (partying)
