High Heels Or A Minivan?

By Elizabeth

highheels

My friend who has 3 children drives a minivan and swears by her mom machine. She even told me that I would end up driving one. My response, “I have my pride!”

 

We all know that when you have more than 2 kids it’s just easier to drive a minivan. But I just can’t bring myself to choose the easy option.  It’s like wearing high heels—they’re great looking but not very comfortable or practical. I’d rather be in pain at a party than wear comfortable and unattractive shoes. To me, moms who drive minivans are wearing comfortable shoes. There’s NOTHING sexy about a minivan.

 

Now that I’m pregnant with twins my lack of “sexiness” is driving me a bit crazy. The only thing I can do to make myself look better is to paint my nails, wear some great jewelry and buy a new car.

 

So yes, I’m going to end up spending more money on a car that’s a little harder to use, less practical and not so great for the environment. But I sure will look good driving it!

I will NOT drive a minivan. I am a stay-at-home mom, but I drive an Expedition. Why do people want to look like dorks when they have kids. I said I would never wear crocs. They are horrible looking. Now, Crocs at home only but heels to parties.

I wouldn't be caught dead in sensible shoes
Okay the minivan issue is a non starter for me, my baby is 38 years old, however, sensible shoes struck a nerve. I have left instructions with all of my friends (Maribeth are you listening?), if they come to visit me at the nursing home and I have on sensible shoes they are to run quickly and get me a pair of killer (come love me) pumps.

Amazing write-up! This could aid plenty of people find out more about this particular issue. Are you keen to integrate video clips coupled with these? It would absolutely help out. Your conclusion was spot on and thanks to you; I probably won’t have to describe everything to my pals. I can simply direct them here!
