Globe writer tells moms to stop being so gross and disgusting in public

A size 6 in skinny jeans.

That's a geriatric dog whistle. :)

1. not about looking thinner or "looking great"
2. dress up in a nice linen suit and then wrestle a toddler into the center row of an SUV and then actually play at a park with the kid.
3. Vomit everywhere. Junior will spit up, will get noro and dry cleaning bills suck. Washers are much more handy than lugging vomited on linen suits to the dry cleaner.
4. I suppose your servants are supposed to handle all this.

Dear Maureen,

Women should give ZERO FUCKS about what you, or anyone else, thinks they should wear.

Sincerely,
A Women That Doesn't Tear Other Women Apart For Wearing WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY WANT

The it's a reasonable argument to make that athletic wear and casual wear in public is a little too common. No, not everyone is so busy that they can't wear something that is a little less casual or better looking. People used to manage to dress up, probably too much according to some. The point is that there's valid arguments on both sides, and not all casual wear is something that's best to wear outdoors. People can look nice without much effort.

Change in a more respectable outfit and your self-worth will soar.

How many times could you count the word "suburbs" in that piece. I don't spend much time in the suburbs, but based on what I see in the city, I don't think what she's talking about is necessarily geographically specific to the suburbs.

Having said that, outside of a work context, I don't really care about what other people wear...if it makes them happy, fine by me...

It's full of tracked affiliate links, meaning she gets a cut of anything you purchase off those sites. She's actually making money that way. And there's no writing, just a lot of copy/paste off various marketing materials. No commentary of any substance. It's badly put together, and the blog makes her Globe "article" look like Pulitzer material.

That says it all right there.

Who buys their child a $125 bikini? Oh, right... someone who bitches about mothers who don't wear expensive silk blouses while they shop for groceries with their toddler. What an ungracious snob.

Like a trust fund.

Must be sad to be reduced to nitpicking other women's appearance as "journalism".

This whole thing is why I don't want to have kids.

It means you have to hang out with other people who have kids.

No kids, I can just avoid these jerks. Kids, you have to play nice because these folks parent the class bully and egg them on. If yo don't cave your kid gets pounded.

I can't speak for a lot of the things, but having grown up in a Rural place where many people had vacation cottages, often just because they are at the "camp" for the summer doesn't mean they are not working. It just means they have a longer commute, and maybe they mix in vacation time as well. I don't know how it works here, because I don't know where "affordable vacation cottages" can be found, but for example my Neighbors are on the cape a lot of the summer but are up in town usually tuesday night because they have to be in the office on tuesday and wednesday, but work remote the rest of the time.

but that so many people are apparently able to still have one or one-and-a-half income households

It is about doing what it necessary to prioritize the children's well being.

"make-up" contributions while people were at their "vacation cottages"

Rental property. On net they make money. Work smarter, not harder.

Wow, being a mom sounds like the toughest job in the world.
