Hello, fellow not-so-cool moms! If you’re anything like me, your once-cool persona has faded faster than your pre-baby wardrobe. But don’t worry! I’m here to share 10 fun tips to help you channel your inner cool mom—think of it as strutting into the school drop-off like you own the place, minus the nursing bra.
- Sprinkle in Some Slang: Instead of saying “How’s it going?”, try “What’s poppin’?” And forget “whatever”—throw up a big W with your fingers for emphasis. Trust me, this is the new normal, so step it up!
- Tune Into the Right Vibes: While I thought I was being hip listening to Sirius Alt Nation, I’ve discovered Sirius XMU. I’m pretty sure the U stands for “university,” or maybe it’s just a cool way of saying “you.” More research needed, but you get the idea.
- Dress the Part: Right now, it seems like showing some skin is the trend. You can fake it without revealing your post-baby belly by rocking high-rise nude pantyhose that go up to your chest. Voilà! Instant cool.
- Drop Some Wild Comments: Casually mention your adventurous side by saying something like, “I’d love to have a wild night, but finding a sitter who can keep up is tough.” Pass on any sitters who don’t meet your standards of multilingualism or chess skills.
- Get Adventurous with Friends: Engage in trendy activities like paint nights or scrapbooking but with a twist—bring a sneaky flask of something tame, like a white wine cooler, so you can still handle the morning chaos with your toddler.
- Embrace New Tech: Get familiar with gadgets like a smartphone. They take pictures and connect you to the internet. You can even download apps like Facebook (still haven’t found Friendster though).
- Get Social: Remember, Instagram isn’t just for the kids. Take “selfies” from above to hide those jowls. If you’re feeling extra trendy, snap “ussies” with your partner doing mundane things, like shopping for canned goods at Costco.
- Use Hashtags Like a Pro: Make everything sound cooler by adding a hashtag. When picking up your sick child, say something like, “#MomLife, #SickKids, #StillHaven’tShowered.” The school secretary will be in awe, and you can even snap a pic of her reaction.
- Watch Indie Films: Bring up obscure movies like “The Fault in Our Stars” and say “#HipsterLife” while showcasing a cute ussie of you and your partner with flasks in front of Netflix.
- Stay Current with Parenting Trends: Is it helicopter parenting, free-range, or unschooling? Better to hover anxiously while letting your kids explore the yard with wild animals. Just in case, you can always teach them about their social media presence in between.
