Lately, I've suffered from the "Geez, you must be a mom." syndrome. What do I mean? I walk into Wal-Mart to grab one thing (it's close, I was up late) and I had on a pair of sweats and a running jacket. My hair is curly & if I don't diffuse it I have super fro, so I had a ponytail in. Some guy had the nerve to say (just while walking by), "Oh, you must be a mom." Then later, I took a bit more care on my dress to run to the library. I had my 2 kids with me (ages 2.5 & 6 mos)...a lady walks up to me and says, "Are these your only children?" Yes--I reply, thinking I'd get the usual 'they're so cute', but she goes on to say, "Hmmm, you must have decided to wait til you were good and ready to start your family." I sorta popped..."READY? What, do I look old? I waited til I was 21, does that seem too OLD for you?" Sheesh!!! Perhaps it's those folks the marketers are trying to target.
