older mom

[Anonymous]

If you are an older mom as in you appear to be a grandmother to many people, what is your experience like? An older mom approached me for a playdate at pickup at DD's school but I'm not going to lie she rubbed me the wrong with with her authoritative speaking tone. It was almost as if she was demanding a playdate. Good grief.

Well, either she is a bossy person aside from her age, or you have issues in dealing with people older than you are.

Authoritative personalities happen in all age groups. If you don’t like this mom (which you don’t, mostly because she’s old, apparently) just decline the play date.

As a parent, you’re going to meet all kinds of people. It helps to get over your own biases before dealing with the public.

I agree, why would you think that all "older moms" have the same personality?? Do you have the same personality and mannerisms as mothers your own age?

The most obnoxious, authoritative, bossy mom I know is 32 years old with an 8 year old. I'm 47 with an 8 year old.

What does appearance have to do with it?

Yeah, I’m an older mom. I’d never have approached you. I don’t like younger moms because they’re all...

I’m kidding.

Mostly. I wouldn’t have approached you because I have severe social anxiety.

+1. You just sound like someone judgmental of older moms.

Too bad because you’re enjoyable at a keyboard’s distance.

OP must be in her 20s. Sounds like a big baby if you ask me.

But but but... she looked like a GRANDMOTHER!

I’m wondering what a grandmother looks like? Mrs. Doubtfire or Goldie Hawn?

Seriously, OP? Where are your critical thinking skills?

She literally is a cross between the two. She has the aging of Mrs. Doubtfire but the blond hair of Goldie. It's her personality then, I get it.

You hear that, ladies? Should you have children in your late 30s or even your 40s, therefore becoming an "older' mom, you're going to transform into an authoritative grandmotherly figure and run around demanding playdates from "young" moms. Beware!
