I don't want to be a soccer mom...  email this discussion to a friend?

So, I have driven the same little mazda car forever, and I love him...but with baby #3 on the way, my man says its time to upgrade. He asked me if I wanted a van or a station wagon!! Is it bad that I am vain and don't want either. I want something sexy and sleek. I know I can be shallow, but, I love my children and am a great mom. I just have never been able to embrace that whole 'mom persona', with the super crafts/mini van/soccer practice/music lessons and such. Instead, I play with my kids, teach them the value of good sportsmanship while teaching them how to throw a football. We read books about football QB's to learn about the game, and what made them a great leader. So, is it bad that I don't want a mini van or wagon, that I would be happy with a mazda 3, or a pink hummer??

Whatever you get, don't get the Hummer. A friend of mine bought one and he regrets it as they get lousy gas mileage sad
Nothing wrong with a minivan, they can be as much fun as a car. It isn't the van that makes soccer moms, it's all the kids that they have to take everywhere. they'd still be soccer moms driving your old Mazda lol

lol..thanks for the comment. Yeah, I have heard that about hummers. And I am really picky about my mileage. My old clunker gets 34 mpg in town and almost 40mpg on the open road.

Well how about an estate car, i think it still look sexy and better than having a van. Or maybe a 4x4 mercedez it looks really cool.
Happy posting.

Thats not a bad idea, I have thought about getting a mercedez, but not that much, maybe I will look into it.

if you have the cash then let him go for the pink hummer at around $40,000..but at that price you can get a sleek toyota rav4 thats sleek& sexy at half that price,how about a lexus harrier?sexier& powerful,or mitsubishi IO?a hummer is a guzzler! good luck!

I've never driven a lexus, although I have heard they are nice. Thank you for your advice!!

I am in the same boat. I DO NOT ever want a van. I would take an SUV though. For me though I will probably end up with the van to be frugal and have the extra money to spend on the kids. Because I am a sucker for the kids. Keeping your identity while being a mom is important. I think that for me anyway it is more about that. I don't want to just be "mom" or so and so's mom. I still want to have my individuality.

So I think if that is the reason you don't want to be a soccer mom or have that mom persona then great. Take time to be you, but if it is to just avoid the stereotype I would rethink it.

My sister in law just got the hummer and LOVES it. I say more power to you.
