...And Other Failings of a Wife and Mother Part 2


"What kind of mom let's her kids dress like that?!"

I was in line with a friend at a movie theater. The kids in question were a bunch of teens, dressed in the then popular Goth style; black t-shirts, black baggy chained pants, dyed black hair, twisted in dreads or shaved and spiked. 

I gave her a strange look, and she blushed. Why? 2 of my 5 kids were teens and regularly dressed that way. They shopped at Hot Topic, I personally dyed their hair, and not only did she know what kind of mom I was, she knew and loved my kids.

I smiled back at her and let it go, hoping in the future she'd not judge another mother solely on a child's appearance.
