To the Young Woman Who Dismissed My Minivan:
I noticed the withering glance you threw at my vehicle while we were waiting at a stoplight. I could almost hear your snarky comment to your friend in that compact car you drive, likely saying, “I can’t believe she’s driving a minivan.” Your friend probably echoed your disdain, exclaiming, “Totally lame!”
I understand your perspective. You’re vibrant and youthful, your body unmarked by time or the stresses of parenthood. You’re at a stage where life seems to revolve around fun adventures with friends and spontaneous Taco Bell runs. However, allow me to remind you that I was once in your shoes—before I became a busy mother navigating the challenges of life with four children.
Years ago, I was carefree and youthful, cruising in a sporty coupe that was clean and orderly—free from the remnants of childhood like Goldfish crumbs and baby wipes. I never imagined I would ultimately embrace the minivan lifestyle.
But let’s fast forward a decade or so. You might find yourself in a similar situation, juggling the demands of parenthood. You’ll come to realize that your metabolism may not keep up with those late-night Taco Bell binges, and your perspective on your parents’ wisdom will likely shift. You’ll soon understand the convenience of a sliding door that opens with a simple touch, especially when you’re trying to manage an infant seat, a diaper bag, and a toddler determined to escape.
It’s not easy to confront the reality that my Friday nights are now spent preparing for a whirlwind of birthday parties or sipping a glass of wine that I can purchase without being carded. It stings to feel judged by those who seem to have it all figured out. Yet, I assure you, time has a way of bringing about change.
As you transition into motherhood, you may find yourself facing challenges like stretch marks, gray hairs, and a closet full of jeans that no longer fit. Karma has her own plans, and it’s likely that she too drives a minivan.
