Will my kids be out of diapers before I'm in them...?

What Not to Wear ... The MoM Version

Can I say how stupid this show is? I am always sucked in to these make over shows. Mostly because I'm missing part of my female DNA. I never know the proper thing to wear. I can barely apply makeup ... to prove my point here I'll tell you what makeup I own ... two tubes of mascara (usually it's one ... but I was curious about the one that curls your lashes ... I wanted to see if it would curl my lashes in to my eyes or up ... how does it know which way to curl?), four different color eye shadows (they are several years old and mostly untouched), two eyeliner pencils (both are used to draw on eyebrows when I wait too long to get them dyed ... once I get them dyed I look like Groucho Marx for a couple of weeks until they fade a bit ... I'm sure the girl who does this for me hopes I never tell anyone who she is ), and a tube of mineral makeup powder with a brush that has never been used.

But I digress ...

After watching this show for awhile and thinking that I would love to have a make over, I realized that these people are stupid. Neither one of them has children and I'm pretty sure neither is married.

There is no way I could ever wear a pair of nice shoes around the house ... after about 10 minutes they would have some substance on them or the dog would have ripped them from my feet for chew toys.

Nice shirts? ... oh come on now ... lets see if I can recount the things that are on my shirts these days ... during cold and flu season that smear on my shoulder is probably from a snotty nose ... of course now that the kids are older the smear is more likely to be around the hem as they have taken to using my shirt as a kleenex.

When the kids were babies my shirts were covered in breast milk and spit up.

Everyone said there would be a lot of laundry ... but I thought they meant for baby clothes ... I didn't realize that most of it would be mine.

I considered myself a slave to fashion when I resorted to buying two of every shirt (t-shirts mind you ... although I was good about making sure I had a good assortment of colors). If I had to leave the house, I put on the clean shirt. I felt proud of myself for figuring that out.

There is no way on earth that I can, even now, wear nice clothes on a day to day basis.

I challenge those two idiots to try to deal with a MoM's real world.

Seriously, who wears a matching jacket and makeup to wipe butts and noses all day?

I cannot wear anything that they put on SAHM's after their makeovers on that show. I would feel so guilty wearing it and having it be dirty in 12 seconds. Between sticky fingers and flying food, clothes barely make it to noon "clean". I agree with you competely. Stacy London and her sidekick...don't have kids. Maybe if Stacy does one day...she'll rethink her advice. :)
