No longer in "Mommy Jeans"

[OKCPirate 5,323]

My daughter (16) has been ragging on my jeans. "Oh dad they look like mommy jeans, Get something that fits." So for the first time since the Reagan administration I ordered 36" regular fit jeans. She really liked them.

The one pair of jeans I have that fit me are a size I haven't fit into for a decade. It's a great feeling, isn't it? Though I'm trying to picture "mommy jeans" and it's pretty amusing, lol

Great feeling isn't it... Well done

CONGRATS!!! It's an amazing feeling to see those waist numbers shrink! The other day I looked in the mirror and for the first time in years my chest was actually bigger than my gut!

Pirate, way to go. I threw all of my well worn 54 and 56 waist jeans away several months ago, but found a pair in one of my drawers, can't believe the difference. However, now in 42/44, find that my rear end disappeared somehow and that I need suspenders! Merry Christmas, Pirate! You are an inspiration!

Someone mentioned their backsides have shrunk and thus their pants got longer. So I went with a shorter inseam by an inch...and that worked. I was wondering why the back of my old jeans were fraid like they were stepped on...now I know why.

Ha - congrats!

I am allergic to mommy jeans or anything that makes me feel frumpy.

In my former obese life, I only wore jeans that fit. It didn't matter what type. Now, with two thirds of my excess weight gone, the jeans that fit are actually called skinny jeans. That cracks me up every single time I put them on. As long as I wear tunic style tops, I can get away with it. My legs have always been my thinnest part.

That is so great!

I haven't worn jeans in decades. I would consider being able to wear Mom Jeans as an NSV myself.

Glad you are not a guy. I think most of the "skinny jeans" for guys make them look like dweebs, but I'm not an urban hipster...but I could be their dad I guess

Love the cut of skinny jeans. Somehow making the calf part smaller lengthens the look of my legs. Gotta go with it. And a wedge heel

Gotta stay with it even if trending is wide leg palazzo pants.

I think I'm done trending

Way to go, man !!!!!!

That's gotta feel great.

Proud of ya.

Missing that Reagan administration, too !!!!!!!!!
