That is a very good quality for a young person to have, especially these days, when teens are the main money spenders...where do they get their disposable income, ? , LOL...as for toilet tissue, Scott is the only one I buy...I prefer the individually wrapped rolls but that's just too much of a luxury...:) I'll cut corners elsewhere if I have to. Only 2 meals a day for the kids. ;)

Well, this certainly is an interesting discussion.

I always figured I was too old to be the cool mom. Seriously; I had my first at 30!

It seems to me it is usually the younger of the moms out there for the age group of the kids in question who get that reputation. Maybe it's easier for them to identify with the music or clothing styles because they arent stuck on bell bottoms and the Beatles-LOL

I guess, for that reason, I never expected to be one-shrug....

""Actually, my dh is himself and doesn't really care what anyone else thinks of him.""

I think being the "cool mom" is more an attitude than an age.

My mom was a best friend--but not really what I would think of as cool at the time.
