Berries Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I had my son when i was 21 and now i'm 25 and i'm feeling like i had him a bit too young. and i feel so old...like i will never enjoy my self the way i used too. my inlaws keep telling me that its time that i dress like a mother, and i want to know how does a mother dress? i don't want to dress like a tramp but at the same time i'm young and i want to feel sexy and i feel like i'm being pressured because i still wanna look good. any suggestions?
quankanne Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 go for a happy medium: Dress comfortably and like a hip young mom for the most part, and save the party-girl dressing for when you and hubby get together and go places, or when you're meeting up with your friends. You know, make the clothing your special treat, much in the way someone would a pedicure or manicure. you can still dress "like a mom" but stylishly!
witabix Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Take no notice when people tell you how you dress, none of their business. You do what you think suits you or you are comfortable with, the cheek of these people. My daughter is 30 with two kids, she still dresses the way she wants and if her in-laws started telling her how to dress I'd only be the second person to tell them to sling their hook.

turnera Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 There's a difference between dressing appropriate to your age, and dressing to show people you still 'have it.' Is that what you're trying to do? Do you have other interests in your life besides your child? Do you and your husband spend 15 hours a week together doing adult things so you can keep your marriage fresh? Do you have a plan for furthering your education so you can get a career that you love and that fulfills you?
Author Berries Posted August 19, 2010 Author Posted August 19, 2010 (edited) Turnera... of course i have other interests,i am currently in university studying to become a pharmacist... all i was saying is that i'm not an OLD WOMAN neither do i want to dress like one, i'm not trying to show people that i still ' have it' because i know that i do, i think that my in-laws wants me to think that because i have a kid i should be fully covered...they think i might be looking for another man which is none sense ,i'm only 25 not 40 Edited August 19, 2010 by Berries
turnera Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I guess I'm not sure what your question is, then. Whether to tell your in-laws to shove it? Whether to wear what you want?
