The Jean Jacket

The Jean Jacket


I took the Spawn school<b> shopping </font></b>yesterday....

Yah, that was a blast.

After 3 hours of milling about in stores with 'nothing good' we ended heading home with one pair of shoes, one pair of jeans, and a jean jacket.

"I can't believe you want a jean jacket.... When did they come back in style?"

"You wouldn't know...."

There is just nothing like being picked apart constantly by your offspring. The judgy little shit...

"I have a jean jacket hanging in my closet right now."

"No you don't."

"Yes I do."

"No you don't! I see what you wear, I know what's in your closet."

"You see what I wear work every day, do you think I WANT dress like that? I do it because I have ."

It's funny how sometimes people can only see the one side of you and it blows their mind realize, there are other facets of your being. The Spawn only ever sees the 'Working Mom' side of . She can't fathom the thought that I TOO think about trends and fashion and that I TOO want to look stylish.

I dropped the conversation until I got home and went back to my closet and pulled out not only the jean jacket, but a sage colored jacket very similar to the one she purchased on Friday, and a green hooded jacket very similar to one we looked at but she decided against buying because she didn't like the sleeves.

"I told you I had a jean jacket."

"Where did you get that?!?"

Mind Blown!

"I've had it since the last time jean jackets were popular."

"You've got the green jacket too! When did you become such a fashionista??"

"I've always been one, you just choose not to see it."

I'm looking forward to the day she realizes I'm a human being with feelings too. I know I've got a couple of years to go yet, but, I know it will come.

The difference between sons and daughters? My sons were never mean to me like she is.... They were ok with me just the way I was.

    You just lost a lot of clothes from that closet.
LOL To her dismay, likely not. While she's a size zero poor old mom is quite a few sizes bigger than she is.

    As my late wife found out, it can be hell living with a daughter whose hormones are arriving like a tsunami, while yours are ebbing away
It is definitely hell....

    Oof. Is this a mum- daughter thing? 🥴
    I think I tend to be harsher on my mum than my brothers are. But thankfully, I haven’t taken to criticising her fashion sense. That’s been her since the day I discovered my fashion sense boils down to: polo shirt, jeans/slacks and a sneaker/ballet flat. To her eternal disappointment and my eternal glee. LOL

    Also, as a daughter, let me just say she’ll come around. It may take time, but she’ll finally see you as a flawed human with faults and issues and who did the best witj what you were given. Here’s hoping she appreciates you.
We did the shopping thing again today, today went much better. We hit up the mall in TC this time, different stores, more to look at.

    Kids!! Never know from one moment to the next what's going on in their minds... and lets face it, even if we DID know, it likely wouldn't make sense!!
I'm kind of happy I don't know what's going on in her mind... Yikes! She just texted me a photo of our sleeping kitty that she had photo shopped into looking like road kill. Complete with skid marks.

    I would have loved to have seen the look on your Spawn's face when you did your 'fashion show' in front of her.
She was totally surprised.... Next time she'll believe me. Little stinker...

    It will be one of those bittersweet moments when she comes to that realization. She won't be your "baby" any longer but a young adult, but she will also start to realize you're much more than "Mom".
I look forward to that day. I didn't know my mother as an adult, I look forward to having the relationship with her that I didn't have with my own mom.

    lol, this is so familiar to me. When they graduate and their peers are adults instead of other kids, then they finally figure out, you're not so bad after all.
I miss the days when she was my little side kick. I just have to wait a few years, she'll come around again.

She's still much tinier than I am, so I'm safe. Lol.

If it makes you feel any better, I think the attitude is somewhat universal amongst teenage girls. It changes...about when they hit 30

But continue to enjoy taking the wind out of her sails as you throw out the 'that style's been popular three times, since I was your age', when she goes on about some piece of clothing 'you wouldn't get'.

She'll be looking into the BACK of your closet for the good stuff. 😎👍
