Ten Ways Younger Moms Are Different From Us

1. They get tired. We get exhausted. And we do it before ten a.m.
2. They wash or discard any piece of their kid's food that hits the ground. We practice the ten-second rule: if it wasn't on the ground ten seconds, it's good eatin'.
3.Sometimes we practice the 20-second rule.
4.They still call it a "vacation" when the kids come.
5.Their kids wear pjs. Our kids sleep in their school clothes. It's a helluva time saver in the morning.
6. They make nutritious, home-cooked dinners. We maintain an extensive file of take-out menus.
7. They write holiday letters documenting the family's doings, with hand-written notes to their friends and relatives. We're lucky to get an unsigned photo card in the mail by New Year's.
8. They are perky. We're not. Not even on caffeine. You don't want to know us on caffeine.
9. Their kids wear brand-new, matching outfits. Our kids wear hand-me-downs that saved us a trip to the mall and being the pitied mom whose kid won't leave without throwing a fit because we didn't buy them FILL IN THE BLANK HERE.
10. When given the choice of sex with their partner or sleep, younger moms still choose sex. What's that like?
