The first few years of parenthood are bleak. The days all roll into one, you don’t have time to brush your hair, drink your hot coffee, or sleep. But worst of all, you don’t feel like yourself. It all make for a dire sex life there for a moment. But it all becomes more interesting when you leave your darling brood at school, and venture back to work. Oh, there’s a new hot guy who is head of the new team. And he holds the door for me and asks how I am! SO HOT.

A tale as old as time. You meet a cool mum, she seems to live a high-flying existence and starts to invite you to fun events. Then she asks if your friend Grace wants to come along. After a few nights out or coffee meet-ups, you realize this fun mum and your friend Grace are meeting up without you, and you are no longer needed… you’ve been mum-jacked.

Regina George, with her perfect blonde hair and manipulative persona, no longer reigns. George’s mum in your kids class does. She rules the playground. People will only attend events knowing she’s there. You’ve smiled at her and been met with a blank stare as she and her collective went off for lunch. You might have thought you escaped it when you graduated, but I’ve got bad news: the queen bees are now moms.
