[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just curious! My babies were born in 2010 and 2012, so I'm totally out of the loop! For a blast from the past, here's what I remember rolling my eyes at a decade+ ago: -New mom Facebook groups with names like "The private AWESOME mommy group <3" -Packs of moms in yoga pants doing exercises with their strollers at places like the Mosaic District -Strollers as status symbols (suspect this is still the name!) -Grimey mall play areas being the #1 toddler attraction -Mommy and me movies where people still shushed you if your baby was being loud -Unsolicited advice from strangers at Target about your feeding choice, regardless of whether it was bottle or breast -Competition from other moms about who could breastfeed the longest (especially without supplementing) [/quote] I had babies in 1980's and 1990's 1. People who touched my belly unsolicited. 2. People in NC who thought I looked too young to carry a child told me "it was good of me to be carrying for some other family to adopt" WTF? 3. People who walked up to me and said "god bless that child" 4. Men who told me I was on the "mommy track" at work. In fact I surpassed all those idiots within three years and two kids later. 5. Women who badgered me about breastfeeding. See OP it's all in perspective[/quote]
