Having a good looking mom is great, I mean obviously that's where I get my good genes from (hair flip). She's a MILF, a hot mom, the sexy soccer mom or whatever you want to call it. I'm not saying these things because I believe them to be true (which I do), I'm saying these things because all of my friends say them, like, all the time. My mom is my best friend, and I love her, but there are some serious struggles that come with having a hot mom that I'm sure a lot of you can relate.
Here's some things that happen when you grow up with a hot mom.
1. Showing up somewhere wearing the same outfit.
This happens all too often, and it's kind of annoying. It takes a solid five outfit try-ons before you actually find one you like and feel good in. All of that work just to show up at a restaurant twinning with your mom. We usually end up debating of who had it on first which leads to who bought it first ... Another thing, she almost always dresses cuter than me, so if we put it to the whole "who wore it better" thing, she would win nine times out of 10.
2. All of my friends wanting to come over and meet her.
I think some of my guy friends actually spent more time chatting it up with my mom then hanging out with me. COOL, GUYS. I would hear people say, "Oh yeah, Jodi is awesome," and I'm thinking to myself, Pretty sure you've never even been to my house or even met my mom? And let's not get any ideas, boys, this isn't some fantasy about you and a cougar. This is real life, and that's my mom. THANK YOU.
3. Debating on who he was actually checking out.
Sighting, 6 o'clock. Hot guy on the prowl. He's looking at me. I am SO in. Or he's looking at my mom. ... Then my mother and I get to fight over this guy, who we don't even know. The thing is, it could have gone either way. He's older than me, younger than her — the struggle. But I will tell you, it's usually her. True story.
4. Being called "sisters."
This happens a lot at the mall with the kiosk stands selling hair products, probably just because they are sucking up. But my mom never fails to smile and soak that all up. Sorry, but no matter what you say, I am not buying your hair crap. Sorry. Sometimes, we will be out somewhere, and we just roll with the sister thing, because it's funny how old this has actually gotten. Like OK, dude, give it a rest.
5. Everyone adding your mom on social media.
Maybe once a month, my mom will ask me, "Is it okay if I friend Johnny on Facebook? He sent me a request." I immediately make the biggest sigh EVER before responding, "Whatever," or "Yeah, sure." BTW, I hate you Johnny. Unless we are super-close, and you really know my mom super-well, I don't need you adding her on Facebook. Mostly because she posts some seriously ugly pictures of me that no one needs to see, but also because I don't need you knowing everything about my mom's life. The worst part is, I swear she's on there more than I am. IDK.
6. Sharing clothes.
Even though my mom and I don't usually wear the same size, we do borrow each other's clothes quite frequently. Most of the time, I do it without asking (oops). Then she will comment on my pictures "Is that my shirt?" It's really more of a benefit for me than anything. I guess I'm just glad she doesn't wear mom jeans and sweater vests.
7. Having people comment on every picture with your mom.
"OMG your mom is so pretty," or "Give your mom my number for me." Yes, I know she is. She looks better than me in this picture. Rub it in some more. And no, I am not giving her your number. But hey, at least I know what I'll look like in 20-something years. I ain't even mad.
8. Having guys hit on your mom, in front of you.
Seriously, dude, even if you thought we were "sisters," like many others claim to believe, have a little bit of respect. These situations make me feel so awkward and uncomfortable, partly because these men have terrible pick up lines, but also because, HELLO, that's my mom! I can only roll my eyes so much. Plus, he's usually like a 5.5, and my mom is a solid 9. No joke. Maybe instead of trying to get it in with mom, you should have an eye exam on your agenda. Just a thought.
Don't get me wrong, my mom is great. I always tell her how good or young she looks. And more importantly, I love that she feels good about herself, because she should. But come on guys, at the end of the day, she is my mom, and you are not about to live out your "Stacy's Mom" moment. Sorry not sorry.
