“The Look” is a Shared Language
We’ve all been there. You know “The Look.” It’s that forced smile paired with a fire in your eyes that screams, “We’re out in public right now, and I can’t freak out, but you better listen to me!” It’s like a telepathic message saying: “Kid, absorb this! Learn it! FEAR IT! LISTEN!”
A hilarious meme has been making the rounds on social media, resonating with moms everywhere because we’ve all experienced that moment. Just take a look at Sarah, our local mom who juggles three kids. Even the most composed among us can feel the heat of frustration when our little ones push our buttons.
I had a recent outing at the park with my two energetic kids, ages five and three. Honestly, how do those of you with bigger families manage this chaos? I was unleashing “The Look” so intensely I feared I’d go into cardiac arrest. Picture me, drained after a long day, desperately trying to herd my kids out while they gleefully dashed away, shrieking like wildlings. And there I was, surrounded by other moms who exchanged sympathetic glances, silently saying, “I get it.”
After a moment of contemplation, I decided enough was enough.
“GET IN THE CAR NOW! OR YOU’RE NEVER COMING BACK HERE! DO YOU HEAR ME? ONLY DADDY WILL BRING YOU HERE FROM NOW ON!”
Pro tip: sometimes “The Look” just doesn’t cut it. Sometimes you’ve got to unleash your inner wild mom. And if you find yourself in a park full of fellow moms (even those you don’t know), you might just lift their spirits by showing them they’re not alone in this parenting rollercoaster.
Solidarity, mamas!
