In a world where app developers tirelessly create social networks for singles, fitness enthusiasts, and even cannabis lovers, it’s high time we moms had our very own platform. Imagine an app tailored to our needs—a virtual space where we can connect with one another, whether it’s to find a fun-loving mom to lift our spirits or a fellow parent who truly gets it when the rest of the world seems out of touch. I call it the “Mom Tinder,” and here’s a look at the types of moms I would definitely swipe right for:
The ‘Secret Thoughts’ Mom
Picture this: you’re stuck in a damp bleacher watching your child’s team play, and all you can think about is how badly you want them to pull the pitcher. Spoiler: that pitcher is your kid. You need a mom who will chuckle when you share your most guilt-ridden confessions, the ones that make you question your parenting skills, like silently wishing for a “we need a pitcher, not a belly-itcher” chant aimed at your own child.
The ‘Style Twin’ Mom
You’ve just dropped your kids off at school. To your left, the fit moms are sporting designer activewear, and to your right, the career-driven moms are flaunting their power suits and chic handbags. In front of you, the PTA moms are wearing their yoga pants yet again. What you really need is that laid-back mom in a classic white tee and ripped jeans who makes you feel like you belong.
The ‘Real Talk’ Mom
Every now and then, you require the company of that mom who isn’t afraid to let a few swear words slip. Whether she’s venting about her spouse, her kids, or just life in general, sometimes you want to be around someone who understands that you’re having a bit of a tough day without any sugarcoating.
The ‘Epic Night Out’ Mom
Wouldn’t it be great to have a night out that doesn’t involve Tupperware sales pitches or book discussions? You need the mom who knows the hottest spots, including where to find that Poison cover band and the $2 shots, plus she can rally a group of moms and arrange for Uber rides to get everyone home safely.
The ‘Always There’ Mom
Your partner might think you’re overreacting, and your mother might tell you to chill out. But what if your child is struggling with friendships or seems withdrawn? You need the mom who shows up with a warm cup of coffee and empathetic eyes, ready to listen when you’re prepared to share your fears.
The ‘Culinary Wizard’ Mom
Hosting the in-laws for dinner? Preparing for your daughter’s Girl Scout troop’s baking badge? You need the mom who can whip together delicious brownies in a flash and effortlessly plan a themed dinner party. She’ll help you impress your guests while keeping it fun.
The ‘Old Friend’ Mom
You may not chat often, and you might live in different towns, but there are moments when you feel a longing for the simpler days before adult responsibilities took over. You need that mom who remembers you from back when all you needed was a pack of cigarettes, a good CD, and a long drive to figure it all out.
In essence, we need a space to connect, share, and support each other as mothers. For more insights on parenting, make sure to check out this engaging post on Modern Family Blog.
