And if you have more than one kid??

I'll cross that bridge when I get to it (this fall). No need to get worked up.

This is what you mean by worked up?

Ok, I'll bite. I am a new mom and can tell you that I'm not able to shower every single day before I go out with DS. I don't always fix my hair or put make up on. It is not because I am slovenly or lazy. It is because that getting my kid out in the sunshine takes precedence over spending an hour in front of the mirror. It has become quite a luxury for me to shower AND wash, dry and straighten my hair everyday. And yes, this does take time. Time that I don't have right now. I do my best to look presentable but would never slam another mom for her appearance. Don't be so quick to judge others if you've only seen them once on the street. You don't know if they're having a tough day or what's on their plate. My god. You would think that women who share such a beautiful gift such as motherhood wouldn't be so quick to jump on one another.

Actually I am not a new mom and I could make time if I want to but I choose not to. I'd rather spend my time with my family, working out at the gym, tutoring a neighborhood kid, writing music, and studying a third language (on top of my job)! But that's okay, I'd just as soon you didn't waste your time trying to be my friend and improve me. I think we'll do fine going our separate ways.

Well congrats Superwoman! I didn't say that I don't shower you bunch of morons. I said it is a luxury if I can wash, dry and straighten my hair every day when I do take a shower. I also said I cannot always shower BEFORE going outside. My god you bunch of vultures! It is much easier to hand DS over to DH when he gets home and to shower then. And btw, I'm so sorry that all of you have to work so hard at looking good. I don't. Three weeks after delivery and I'm back to a size zero so BITE IT. The difference is that I have a brain and know that there's more to a person than how often they get their legs waxed. Do you also teach your children to be this shallow?

10:23 again -- I'm so sorry, pp, I wasn't responding to you. I was responding to the judgmental person who posted first. I should have made that clear. I left your post in because I was building off of it. I completely sympathize with you. I was just pointing out that I couldn't care less about the first poster's standards and lack of time had nothing to do with it. Again, sorry! (And if I were a superwoman, I would do all those things extremely well and looking gorgeous! As it is, I only get to do them a little bit at a time but better a little bit than not at all!)

I confess: I really don't care what people think about me. I don't care that some people think I am not attractive. But I love that my looks bother some people so much!!!

I confess - I laughed when I read the headline stating that Brett Michaels had fractured his nose.

This is exactly the response I have to people like you, pp: a visceral YUCK. If you think being ugly on the inside doesn't show, you're wrong. Some of the dolled up moms as my DC's school actually -- physically -- turned my stomach.

I have a big play yard in my bedroom. DS goes in there, along with lots of toys and some Noggin on TV. He loves being in there and playing. Sometimes he asks to play in there on the weekends; I take advantage and run the vacuum or something.

I agree that a parent with only one child doesn't have much excuse not to shower. i confess that I assumed that the posters who do w/o showers and make up have more than one child to deal with. I also confess that I hope those posters who are so proud of how successful they are at keeping only one child safely occupied while they shower or vacuum re-post here again if they ever have another. I confess I'd love to hear how often they shower, blow dry and straighten their hair, and apply make up (or how much they care) by then. Just sayin.

Some of us don't like to shower in the morning--find it nicer at night. Some of us aren't obsessed with showering cuz we dont STINK like you (esp in the nether regions).

I dont wash my hair more than 1/week because it is unnecessary and everyone knows that shampoo is addictive. Hair looks better slightly unwashed. Ask any hairdresser.

I don't shower in the morning because I like to shower right after working out, which doesnt happen first thing in the a.m.

Also, I have a really mean confession:
Usually fat and/or ugly people are the ones obsessed with daily grooming and cleanliness. Because it is all they have going for them! It's like fat chicks collecting nice shoes because clothes look bad. For those of us who are attractive and slim, we actually look pretty damn good in a tank top and un-ironed mini skirt!! Look at the hot celebs in US Weekly. When they are hanging out they look pretty grungy and also pretty hot. It's Kate Goselin (?) and trashy Paris Hilton who are always all dolled up!!

That is mean, 16:22. And I guess you really believe that.

This is SO true! I totally agree.

I confess that until I read this thread I had no idea that there were so many nasty people on this planet.
