FEAR THE STEPFORD'S

Fear the Stepford Moms
Yesterday afternoon Hubby and I went out to our friends, Jason and Nicole’s new house. The soon to be married lovebirds closed on the house yesterday. They are living behind Jason’s old roommate/fraternity brother/BFF (a cop) and his wife (a teacher). The guy building the house next door was our wedding photographer. He said he would love to take Baby Derricks photos! Anyway, there are an abundant number of police officers and their wives (who are either nurses or teachers) living in the development. There are 2 officers wives there who have children 3 weeks apart. The new mommies were out in the yard with their almost coordinating walking outfits (down to the shoes). What really got me was the fact that both women had the babies in matching strollers. YES matching strollers. The toy hanging above the babies were the identical too. My hubby knows the daddy’s/officers and we stopped by as we were leaving the development. The daddies said we should go ahead and move out there and began to rattle off all the reasons why. The mommies agreed that it would be good because Derrick is 3 weeks older than the first baby and it would all “just be perfect” Stepford mom number one said. We had been playing around with the idea of living there but the Stepford wives changed my mind in an instant.

Yikes! So this may be a dumb question, but is your hubby a police officer?

If the houses are nice,reasonable, and you want one, you can get over the stepford wives. They can't stay like that forever...or can they?

Yes he is the "man in blue". The houses are ok and reasoable but way out in the country.
