HOW RUDE - Mothers of Multiples Meeting

Mommy2Isabella wrote: I went to a M.O.M. meeting last night the lady that invited me was GREAT. The other two weren't so much.

I asked them a few questions and they pretty much ignored me. That is a chapter that isn't in my area its in Mt. Pleasant about 30 minutes away. There is a chapter close to me, so I will see how that goes!

I just couldn't believe they were so rude to me, one lady asked how to stop milk production like her twins are 16 months and they nurse 2 times a day, well I said to go down to one feeding and then go from there type deal, she completely ignored me. and went on to ask, so does anyone have any ideas? WHAT THE HECK

I think a lot of it has to deal with I am very young (20) with a 1 yr old and twins on the way they were both older 45 - 50 range, but STILL come on...

SORRY ABOUT THE RANT

luvbug00 replied: Your very patient. i would have torn them to shreds. I have 0 tolorance for mean people. your age shouldn't have been a thought in their head, your in the same situation and they should have tried to be more welcoming and helpful ( given advice if they were going to say anything at all) . I'm sorry your experience stunk. BTW i have a really good friend from HS who started at your age and is now (24 or 25) married and 5 kids and she is an amazing mom. and I know some super horrid older moms. So it just goes to show age ain't nothin but a number.

gr33n3y3z replied: yeah that was pretty rude
older woman have an attitude I find not all but many do
I guess they are second guessing themselves if they did the right thing or not

A&A'smommy replied: I'm sorry no one should be treated like that, I would have pitched a fit and left!!!

Calimama replied: Ugh, how rude. Hopefully the one near you will be nicer.

gr33n3y3z replied:
and maybe a younger group so you can relate better

MoonMama replied:


I'm so sorry they were so rude!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: One reason that I usually can't stand older moms.

Not that there's anything wrong with older moms... but come on. Just because you're 38 or 40 or 43 doesn't mean that you know more about motherhood just because you're closer to FIFTY.

Mommy2BAK replied:
I totally agree... they tend to think that us younger moms have no clue as to what we're doing.

Calimama replied:
Well said!

moped replied: Oh dear - this older mom better stop reading this!

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
you know what I meant Jen.... lol you're not one of those

gr33n3y3z replied:
Now Rocky I'm 44 and I have 4 kids I know more then everyone

But a preggo Mom at that age knows no more then a 20 year old its called your having a baby LOL

Calimama replied:
I agree. I think there's a difference between a BTDT mom who gives advice than a woman whose older than me but pregnant with her first and thinks shes know more about parenting simply because of her age. The BTDT mom's here are a HUGE help to me.

gr33n3y3z replied:
I know what you guys ment hun I was just busting on you all

Hillbilly Housewife replied:
I should have been more clear - I meant older moms of first babies or first pregnancy...not the ones who have btdt... i mean the ones who are in the same position you are...

Lisa, at 44 and having had 4 kids, I'm SURE you know more abot motherhood than I do!!!!!

gr33n3y3z replied:
nope I dont hun you have one baby and have another you know just as much as the next mom bc its all the same maybe a few road blocks in the middle but you have those with first babies too.
Everyone just does things a little diffrent is all sometimes its easier ssometimes it harder we all learn the same

mom21kid2dogs replied:
As the 48yo mom of a 6yo, all I can say to that comment is YIKES!!!!!

Rudness has no age, mommy2isabella. Sorry you were treated so poorly. Hope the MOM group closer to you in location is also a better group of women! I'm sure any MOM could use a large support group!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: Geesh. I didn't mean it that way.

I guess I should edit my comment to say:

"One reason I can't usually stand older moms is that most think they're better than me because they're older than me"

I usually do give them a chance though if I'm put in a situation where I have to deal with older moms... it's not like I immediately think - oh crap, an older mom... gotta run away... I'm more comfortable with moms in the 20-30 range though

gr33n3y3z replied:
I see what your saying Rocky
as I'm comfy with all aged Moms BUT I have no patitance with Grandmoms bc they know everything well so they think

redchief replied:
I think my mother may have felt that poke all the way from here.

gr33n3y3z replied:
I would never think that
