me neither! thanks for posting Jo! i just watched the 2nd and 3rd ones...hahaha! indeed, the nursing line ("my daughter bit my left nipple off and i nursed through it!") was hilarious. i've actually had an older relative tell me something similar along these lines.

the best though was the talk about a C-section performed at home ("a natural c-section? that is impossible!"). "well, my doula iced it first". :ROTFLMAO:

I don't think my DH would get it. In fact, I am fairly sure he thinks I am the annoying Mom #1. I think you have to be a Mom who talks to other moms like this to appreciate it....

Now here is the million dollar question.

Would moms on Mothering.com laugh? Or get offended? I am sure we all see a little bit of ourselves in annoying mom, but they must see more than a little.

I also think a good solid chunk of mothering.com moms fall into that category. But of course there's a loud faction who'd see it as a poke in the eye. Which it kind of is. But - like you said - I think most of us are the annoying mom once in a while.

09-22-2010, 03:52 PM
i consider myself fairly "crunchy" (i grew up in SF bay area, i EBF, CD, and do EC) yet i thot these clips were HILARIOUS. i agree with wellyes that it's funny if you kinda see yourself in both moms. especially in the third one where it's basically a martyr-mom contest of who had it harder (in pregnancy, labor, post-partum). i think most every mom has been in some sort of conversation-contest like that!

i posted on FB this morning and immediately had like 5 or 6 other moms comment that they thot it was funny..and it got reposted 5 times, woo! :)

09-22-2010, 04:12 PM

Yeah to all of that. Those kick butt. I will have to watch the rest of them later. I am SOOOOOOOOOOO tempted to post these or email them along to the local Stroller Strides group. Most of the moms are pretty cool, but I know there are some who are just like blond mom has to do all of those things esp. since they are first time moms with lots of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

And I know I have read many convos. here about some of that stuff too. I wish I could find a still of the black mom and put her as my avatar here. That's 100% me in regards to parenting style (although I breastfed for 3 mos., not 1, and I don't have twins) :)

I'm somewhere between the 2 moms: BF 18 months, CD 4 months (so maybe only a couple of baby seals died on my watch), my kids are vaccinated on schedule, I buy organic when I can but my kids do enjoy their goldfish crackers, and I do time-outs.

If only there were a way to give that twin mom some twinskin...

Katigre
09-23-2010, 03:13 PM
I do most of the crunchy things the blond mom did (we don't do therapy for monkey bars though ;)) and holy cow these videos are hilarious!!!

They've got broad appeal across the parenting spectrum because it's so much more about 'keeping up with the Mommy Jones's" attitude than whatever your specific individual choices are wrt birth/food/diapers.

i agree, its more about attitude vs. actual parenting choices. and like PP said, it's really funny if you see some of your own attitude in both moms. for many i think the blonde mom is like one's own inner critic ("you do xxx? let your children do xxx?? you're the world's worst mommy!"). so it's comical and relieving to see how ridiculous these judgmental comments actually sound.

There's a few new videos in her collection!

http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/7347561/

I noticed when you go from page 1 to page 2, sometimes it shows the same ones on page 2 so you think there are no new ones, but then if you flip back to page 1 the new ones are there. Odd. I check this every few days. Another strange thing about xtranormal.com is I haven't seen a way to search by keyword or by the creator's username. Has anyone found a way to do that?
