Damien told me yesterday- his friends think I’m cool.
Yup.
Mainly because I have tattoos, I listen to bands like Metallica and allow him to wear black nail polish. But- by Damien’s own admission- they even think it’s cool that Damien has such strict rules, like no gallivanting on a school day and no spending all of a Saturday at a mall and hearing from the parents when Damien is invited over and so on.
And I didn’t even ask him about it- we were watching TV last night between study sessions and there was an advert where the kids said something about another kid’s mom being the coolest- and Damien piped up and said “That’s what M thinks of you.” I’m very flattered! At least I haven’t done everything wrong!

I’ve always thought you are cool!!
terri: right back at ya!
ww: very cool, i was very flattered!
katt: wow indeed!
supermom: nogal!
peong: i’ll tell him!
phats: awesome indeed!
tom: thanx dude!
nmotb: thanx- and i always thought you were cool!
But I have alway’s thought you were cool!
I bet them thinking you’re a cool mom has more to do with the fact that anyone can see you love your boy unconditionally (and not necessarily the black nail polish) – and IMO.. it’s unconditional love that makes a cool mom.
Awesome, being a cool mom is nice!
You have to do a lot of things right to be a cool mom, so don’t sell yourself short. I always figured you were cool, so thank D for confirming for me. 🙂
Hey Cool mom! From a teenager nogal!
Wow! Now that is a compliment if ever there was one.
There can be no better compliment, methinks Angel me dear. Now that is cool.
If D didn’t agree, he wouldn’t be letting you in on that. Chicken Soup for the Mom’s Soul, that is.
Well good for you! (from one cool (step)mom to another)
