I was mom-shamed for looking too good at the playground but I don’t care, dressing up makes me feel better | The Sun

A MOM had been shamed by other moms for dressing up at the playground, but she doesn't care because getting ready for the day gives her purpose.

One of the moms told her that she didn't like her because of the way she dressed.


Rosa Picosa shared the hurtful interaction on TikTok.

Rosie said in the video: "Last year, my son and I were on our weekly excursion to the playground when we came across the ever-intimidating mom group.

"I had zero reasons to believe they were anything but harmless – but my high school survival instincts told me to keep my distance.

"But my son, having no survival instincts, prances right into the middle of their group. Queue nervous sweat.

"Without thinking I responded with: 'Oh, this is the first time I've gotten dressed in like three weeks.' Lie.

"Was I actually overdressed for the playground? And does working in the home mean I don't have to get dressed every day? Well, some days, yes.

"But I have discovered that deliberately getting myself ready in the morning helps me to mentally prepare for the day. And fills my mornings with purpose.

"And yes, that means getting dressed all the way down to my shoes – whether I'm leaving the house or not."

MOMS TO THE RESCUE

Many moms quickly rushed to the comment section to let her know she did nothing wrong but rather the other moms were clearly insecure.

One mom wrote: "It was likely her lashing out because she found YOU intimidating.

"It was insecurity, not you. You look fab."

Another commented: "Never water yourself down to make somebody else feel comfortable."

"Getting ready every day as a mom makes me feel SO GOOD.

"I wear what I want, slap on lipstick and fancy perfume, and feel like the main character," a third shared.
