Women crack me up and I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; we are the most severe to our own sex. Why ? I have no idea, maybe it’s just our chemical makeup and guys know they don’t do this to other guys and they sure can’t figure out why we do it to each other either.
I was in a room full or young women today and it cracked me up to watch them becoming women, young mothers and such, but what was more hysterical to me was watching them be snobby, bitchy and somewhat uppity to others.
I have experience in recognizing these skills as I have been this age and participated in this type of behavior myself and sadly whether women my age want to admit we’re not even sure why we do it.
I have a few favorite personalities and of course when you’re older you can watch these young women and some times they just don’t have what it takes to carry off the ultimate snob or bitch role, in the end they just look ridiculously immature. You’d almost like to pull them aside and give them tips (hey I didn’t get my Empress title for nothing) but you can’t that breaks all the rules.
One of my favorite personalities is the woman that thinks to herself, “I know I have money and even though I’ve never met you; I’m certain you don’t have as much money as me, thus I will treat you as such.” Again, now how cute is this when this is a younger woman who truly doesn’t know your situation and has the audacity to think this about you? The comments of, “I buy this and I spend this, blah, blah, blah.” She eventually will just realize no one cares (hopefully) except her circle of fans and life will bore her to death at an early onset.
My second, favorite personality is the, “I was a bitch in high school, rolled through college on my bitch mobile and since no one has flattened my tires yet, I’ve just went with this personality. Oh and along the way I actually got some drip to marry me and I treat him like crap too. SO, I will also just treat all those not in my immediate circle with disrespect and rudeness as that has gotten me by thus far. This young woman will fall on her ass sometime in the near future when a woman just kicks her butt for whatever reason and the defense of “bitch” just doesn’t cover her situation. She is of no use to us older women!
My last favorite is the perfect mom! We’ve all done this one and lets not pretend we haven’t. “My child is behaving better than yours, my child hasn’t caused a scene, your child has done something questionable so I will sit over here in the corner of the room and talk about your child and how sad it is that you are a bad mother.” Women are funny with their kids! You never see another woman give parenting advice to another like, “You know, if you’d give little Jimmy less caffeine he might just stop running around here so much.” Holy crap can you imagine what would happen? Or, how about, “I’ve been watching you and Jimmy and if you wouldn’t baby him so much he just might play better with the other kids.” Now that would be priceless wouldn’t it? It would be a free-for-all at the event!
Regardless woman are just severe to other woman, but here is my advice; always just go after the woman in your age group. If you are going to “take on” an older woman make sure you know this person and their personality. Older women have life experiences and most of them are tired of all the bull crap from life in general. We don’t have time for all the things we did in the younger years and probably won’t put up with it. If you’re thinking it, we’ve already thought it. If you’re going to do it, we’ve already done it, screwed it up and learned from it.
Just think before you act!

Hmmm… I’m definitely the mom snob. And maybe the high school one if put in the right situation. But not the money one… I’m poor as a church mouse, lol. Isn’t that funny? And when you watch this you just want to say, “Oh honey, no no no… know your audience.” Like you said, sometimes don’t you want to teach bitchiness 101? With maturity comes wisdom, and with wisdom comes knowing when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. It’s just a pecking order…. that’s all.

Every mother is the mom snob, come on and if you say you’re not you are SO lying. It’s a woman thing I guess. You just don’t see men sitting around talking about bad kids that much. Exactly, you said it perfectly, know your audience and watch your peas and ques when you don’t know it. If you can rule, then by all means rule if that makes you happy. However, know your place! You also learn as you get older that there are many other ways to get your point across that are much easier and less obvious. Wisdom does indeed come with age. You can’t teach that statement either!

No, I knew you would comment and of course it’s not you. It was just funny to watch some of your pals be snobby. Not all was your party. It just reminded me of younger women in the past too (I promise). You are totally not ever snobby, far from it actually. We’ve all been there, but when you speak to someone and they totally ignore you (Anna) it just cracks me up. Actually two or three just looked at us as if we were invisible. It just made us laugh. They were just not the friendliest bunch of girls I’ve ever met, but again, I have met more in my time and I’ve been the mom snob, we all have. Women just make me laugh!
