Skinny TV Moms

Hmm… this one got a little lost in the move. I say that since I mention "In the Motherhood," which is already TV roadkill. But my point still stands!
That's why I didn't care for the show. I don't want to see a perfect mom I can't relate to. There were a few minutes I watched, but then thought "It feels like I'm watching a TV show.." I would've watched more if they had the moms with the spit up stained t shirts and the rubberband from the morning paper wrapped up in their ponytail, and pants so baggy from being worn 4 days in a row they hang like adult diapers.
See, now THAT would be funny stuff.
right? exactly! I think that's why Rosanne worked
My self-image has always been pretty good, and I watched the In the Motherhood webisodes all the time. But now that the kid is here and I have this…belly (which no one else seems to notice), I am pretty aware of how great and lithe all the TV moms seem to look, even the ones in the commercials. I don't even need a Roseanne type, just a normal, average size 8 or 10 mom will do.
Can't say I have seen that show (we canceled cable for the summer cause we never watch it when it's nice out) but, I have been wanting to say something about the momversation video clips… where's the 275 lb mom (like me)? I don't feel like I can truly relate to all those skinny ladies… Just sayin'.
haha, well, you don't see below the chest, so we might all have GIANT hips and midsections
Here's hoping… LOL
You go Daphne! I haven't seen the show, but do believe it's time for average size women to be depicted on TV, not always women who are naturally thin or who must work out a bizzillion hours a day to get in that shape. I love the Dove ads for representing "real" women.
I REALLY wanted to realate to these women, but a working mom (skinny). A overly perfect stay at home mom ( skinny) and Megan Mullally (skinny), who after watching Will and Grace from day one I was really hoping the show was going to make me feel like I'm not alone. Well I was really hoping to relate to at least one of them. I really wanted to see the mom who runs around in her bathrobe downing protein shakes and then eating the donuts. The one who would leave the house with a curler stuck to the back of head and trying find time in the day to workout.
Now that would have been real!
