As a mom, do you still make a decent attempt to be cute?

I would cut it short. what the heck why not! Some times us mom's want to feel like a woman. I always get up and get dressed and put my face on. I to do not want to turn in to the plain jane mom. I do it for myself and my huusband. It makes you feel great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is something that I have actually let slip a lot and made a decision the other day to change. As a mum of 2 toddlers i do find it very challenginf to get the time to make the effort so i ended up letting it all slip, i wasnt one of those people who stayed in the pj's all day tho but i made the bare minimal effort when leaving the house. I have decided that has to change now tho so am making more of an effort, i have dug out the hair straightners and the make up lol!

I wear my hair long so I could just tie it or pull it all up when I am busy. I am already cute (because I really am so petite hehehe) so I don't need to make an attempt to look like one joke! As much as possible, I prefer wearing clothes I am really comfortable with since your feeling towards what you wear reflects of you anyway. So most of time, you'll see me in shorts and shirts only. I reserve my sexy, plunging tops for private settings :-)

I'm not a mum, I'm a guy but I do believe you should always try to look good no matter what your age. I used to have a friend who was 67 years old, always dressing up, buying shoes, asking me how she looked, chiding me when my shoes didn't shine, telling me about how I looked, etc. Its always good to look good. Not only for your husband but also for your friends. Thats what I think, anyway.

I think that if it makes you feel good to look good then do it. It shouldn't be for other people (maybe a little for your husband) but it should mainly be for you. I'm not saying spend hours in front of the mirror every morning, I'm just saying do what you can so that you like what you see when look in the mirror. I am 27 and I have two kids. Sometimes, I honestly don't care what I look like as long as I don't smell. But most of the time I do take 15 mins out of my morning to make sure I like what I see in the mirror even if I don't ever look in another mirror again all day and I don't leave the house for anything special. I still need to make sure I like myself and I'm happy with what I look like. Even if no one sees me all day, it's not for anyone but me and my self-esteem. There's nothing wrong with wanting to look good as long as it doesn't become an obsession. Everyone, especially hard working mothers, deserve to look good every single day.

Yes before he gets home no matter what I'm doing I try to cute up a little bit. If I'm sick though he can forget it.

Now that I am pregnant again it is getting harder. But if my hubby and I are going to go out, I try. I do have days once in a while where I just can't put too much effort in. I get my hair cut regularly. I guess like most,I have gooddays and not so good.

Just because you are a mom doesn't mean you don't get to look cute anymore. When you take pride in how you look, you will feel better about yourself. Your children learn by example, so they will learn to care about their appearance, too. So, just be careful that you look like a mom . . . but a cute one. No need to go to extremes. At 53, I still put on shadow and mascara every day, without fail. I might have lost my figure, and my hair may be greying, so I don't look "cute" anymore, but I still care. Enjoy being cute while you can because it will change to something other than cute. I'm not sure what to call it . . . old . . . no, grandmotherly is nicer. :-)

A little bit different for me as im not a young Mum..but a mum of three adults..but i still try to keep myself tidy!!My daughters are both yummy mummies and they look really good...every morning both of them put make up on and make them selves ready for the outside world....I think like you say its good to keep yourself looking good and im sure as the children get a little bit older they really appreciate you doing so...
