Mommy Profile #1: “The Doer”

“The Doer”
Favorite line: “I am sooooo busy.” (But said in a way that implies: “I am busier than you. I am so much smarter than you because I kept my corporate career. You have to be a drooling comatose fool to take care of your own kids and not have a “real job”)
Favorite look: Totally inappropriate work clothes at play dates to remind you – SHE is WORKING DAMN IT.
She is great mother because : Her kid never eats ANY sugar, watches TV, plays with anything non-organic, plays in grass for fear of ticks, or even worse GRASS STAINS on her precious pumpkin’s cashmere cardigans. She of course has READ EVERYTHING about parenting and has made a TON of rules YOU should follow. (Of course she has all the time, energy and ability to do this because…..(drum roll)… She is sitting behind her cushy desk as her au pair (who by the way speaks 4 languages, was a trained chef in her native Germany, and of course, is teaching the kids how to play the violin and flute just for fun!!) is taking care of her kids.
Why you continue to be friends with her: You want to be there when her son is arrested or her daughter is caught naked on the internet. Not that you wish these things but she makes you feel like your kids’ potential for success, are equivalent to the chimps at the zoo, and frankly you know parents with “all the answers that take the least responsibility” have the most messed up kids. Besides who else will you borrow “real clothes” from those two nights of the year you go out to a restaurant that does not feature chicken nuggets and french fries with free balloon!?
