| This is a compensated review post, y’all. It’s also hilarious. |
The first time I experienced mommy judgement was when I was pregnant. I mean, I hadn’t even had my baby yet and so I was totally taken aback by the whole thing. I had taken my niece to a birthday party and was cutting up a hot dog for her. She was very excited about this, exclaiming “Keeka, I can’t wait! I just can’t wait!” because apparently when you are two years old, hot dogs are THE MOST EXCITING THING EVER.
I was mid slice when another mom glanced down at my plate and said “Ohhhhh….”
I looked up at her because due to the tone of her voice I thought that maybe she was pregnant and the sight of a hot dog had totally repulsed her. Or something. And that is when she followed with “You know, cutting hot dogs like that is a choking hazard.”
Which, granted, was a good little tidbit to tuck away for the future but definitely could have had a nicer delivery. I joked that it was a good thing I was getting a practice run on a kid who wasn’t mine. She raised her eyebrows and walked away and I thought “I do not think we will be friends, hot dog lady.”
Lifetime is airing a new series called Pretty Wicked Moms which is basically similar to The Real Housewives except that these women all have young children. I don’t typically watch those shows unless I’m being forced to by my mother because she loves them. But this one is set in Atlanta and I always love to see my hometown on reality television. And Y’ALL. I’m totally going to visit the store in the show and see these women in person.
Normally I’m pretty lax about mommy judgement, now that I am one and due to the aforementioned experience but I have to say…I judged all over the place watching the premiere episode. I mean, I can’t even. Here. See for yourselves:
BLESS THEIR HEARTS.
Also, Lifetime wants me to tell you to: Tune in to watch parenting like you’ve never seen before with the first episode of Pretty Wicked Moms on Tuesday, June 4, at 10:00 pm ET/PT on Lifetime
And I want to tell you that seriously, if you watch this PLEASE come back to this post and talk about it with me because I am DYING TO TALK ABOUT IT and so I’m anxiously awaiting June 4th so that y’all can all chat about it with me.
