Babble contributor, Samantha Rodman sheds a bit of light on my
childhood as well. See, I had the pleasure of grocery shopping
with three different ladies during childhood and as I read through
this article I was able to finally place each in their perspective categories.
Read onto to take the guessing out if this riddle and be sure to let us know if you haves as many “hmmm” and “ooooh” moments as I did!
Also, in the comments leave your grocery mom identity!
Grocery shopping: that thing you barely ever did before kids, but now is the focal point of your week. Well that and cleaning the kitchen. Hashtag glamorous! But who are all the other lovely women you see in the aisles of the grocery store alongside you? Well, they probably fall into one of the following types.
1. The “Yes” Mom
This Zen mistress woman is so chillaxed that she gives in to whatever inane request her kids throw her way. Frosted Cocoa Puffs? Lollipops? Great. Organic cookies at $10 a box? Why not, she’ll serve them during the next play date to intimidate the other moms.
2. The “No” Mom
This woman has only one child and still has standards for what her kid ingests. Ha! Remember when you cared that much? Sneak her kid a handful of sugary cereal.
3. The Organic Mom
This woman only shops in the organic aisle. In order to pay for this habit, however, she moonlights as a stripper. You’re telling me that one melon is $6?
4. The Hungry Mom
You can recognize this woman because her cart is filled with things that actual grownups like to eat, like dark chocolate, the good olives, and cheese that kids won’t touch. Next time, shop after lunch, friend.
