This mom hides from ‘super moms’ every day and she is all of us

She's keeping it "all the way real."

suburban mom

“No, I won’t try any harder at 8am.”

Nicole Walters is a mom, and a pretty good one at that.

But according to her, she is not a “fancy mom” or a “super mom” or a “tennis mom.”

It’s for this reason that Nicole decides to hide from the fancy moms while they bring their children to the bus stop every morning.

Not because she doesn’t want to speak to people, and not because she doesn’t think that she is as good a mom as these other moms…

But because she’s in the same clothes she wore yesterday and she doesn’t want to have to deal with them.

In the Facebook live video, Nicole provides a gas commentary of the moms as they walk their kids to the bus stop.

You can’t actually see them in the footage, but Nicole is adamant that you can hear their “high pitched” voices as they ask their kids if they’re ready for school, done up to the nines in their early morning tennis mom attire.

Nicole, however, is just not about that suburban mom life.

She goes on to talk about how, despite her ability to laugh at the way these moms carry themselves, she sometimes feels like she is just not as “together” as other parents.

Most of this is due to the fact that she doesn’t dress up to bring her child to the bus stop.

Instead, this “hot mess mom” likes to “keep it all the way real” – a statement which is very much emphasised by her “Oprah wasn’t built in a day t-shirt” and her shower cap.

Nicole finishes her Facebook live by saying that if anyone has any tips on how to deal with the tennis moms, they need to them her way, because every morning at 8.30am, she is dealing with the internal dilemma of waiting out the suburban moms.
