Writer Sprout, my dear friend who recently left the Emerald City for the Big Apple posted this article on her website.
So it got me thinking (and I posted this comment on her blog):
I've never heard of the term "Yummy Mommy" though I have heard of the acronymn "M.I.L.F." (Mothers I'd Like to Fuck). I can't decide which one is more degrading...they're equally moronic and both the product of some cheese-eating demographer who doesn't get enough action on his own (er, uh, maybe too much on his own and not enough with another partner). In any case, so long as there are Mommies on the playground who are stupid enough to wear Jimmy Choos whilst chasing after their toddlers, these labels will continue to exist. Me? I'm quite happy with my Nikes, thank you; but although you won't catch this Mommy dressing frumpy or changing her figure, I'd be the first to put your eye out if you called me either.
Plain ol' "Monkey" will do, thank you!

Dear Monkey,
Apparently, Yummy Mommies wear their title w/ pride:

Yick.
Yick indeed! I think I'd rather wear a "Hustler" t-shirt or one with the Playboy bunny head on it instead!! Ha ha!!!
Come on ladies are you really that surprised that there are categories for moms? What about sporty/chic?, clubby/earthy? prom queens/bookish? Even lesbians have lipstick/butch.Dividing and classifying are all some people can do.You were just hoping that you made it to the final group-mom/nonmom without judgement! Relax! just remember who your real critics are 24/7!!!!
I could care less about the labels--fine, I've been in marketing for 17 years, I know enough to know that labels will always exist. And all of those labels you listed are NOT derogatory but honestly, "Yummy Mommy"? or "M.I.L.F?"
