Most expressions with the word "mom" or "mommy" in them -- mom hair, mom shoes, mom jeans, soccer mom, hockey mom, mom's night out-- conjure up an immediate image, and it's not exactly a positive one. Rather a one-dimensional, pathetic, frumpy, unhip, conformist, soft, lacking identity, and selfless image.
Other than the blatant "dead-beat dad," why don't we use the word dad or daddy in derogatory ways?
Mama's boy? “Ick.”
Daddy's girl? “Awww, how sweet!”
Whose permission do we need to “be a mom?” As far as I’m concerned, mom’s rock! And I’m proud to be one.
