A Mom-Phobia of Driving

If anyone is in Chicagoland, Peggy Ward looks pretty funny with her Mamaphobia. Sometimes mom humor can be a little painful, but her clips look like she is right on the money.

I liked her bit about being the most paranoid passenger when she became a mom, as if her husband “had just gotten his learner’s permit.” Darn, wish I’d written that. My poor husband is forever telling me to chill out in the car. But I am sure my vigilance will save us all from a fiery death. Sometimes I shut my eyes, because I know he is a good driver and I have become a tad crazy.

My sister Carole says she does the same thing to her husband. Our wiring got all screwed up upon motherhood. It’s a combination of protective mom and control freak. Hmm, am I the only one with a hard time discerning between the two?
