Son: “Mom, why are you wearing those old people shoes?”
Seriously!! My Son thinks I wear old people shoes. He might as well have slapped me.
I look at my 16 year old Daughter & ask, “Do you think these are old people shoes?”
Uncontrollable laughing from her now. I’d have to say her non-answer and laughing was a “yes.”
Honestly, I’m shocked because I LIKE these shoes. They are comfortable, but I thought they were quite stylish. I love the Mary Jane style:
Okay friends…I want your opinion. Do these shoes look like old people shoes? I don’t know why it bothers me so much, but it does. It’s quite normal that my Son doesn’t like my taste at all. He’s always saying “that’s tacky, Mom!” However, I know it’s not, so I usually ignore him. Besides, what does a 13 year old boy know about what’s stylish or not?
My 16 year old Daughter seems to be agreeing more with him, so it is worrying me. Am I losing touch with reality? I’ve always been a little eccentric in my tastes so maybe that is all it is. I may not necessarily like to wear the latest trendy fashions always, but it’s never bothered me what people think. I guess I just don’t want my kids to be embarrassed by their Mom. It kind of hurts. I don’t want them to be embarrassed by me.
Should I let it bother me?
