artificial insemination kit for humans
I’m the mom who seems to be perpetually late. And I’m not just talking about dropping the kids off at school or arriving tardy to baseball practice—though I do that too.
I constantly feel like I’m lagging behind. I’m usually the last to discover the newest trends. Despite being a loyal subscriber to US Weekly for almost 20 years, I still don’t recognize most of the celebrities making headlines. I’ve never downloaded TikTok, and I ditched Twitter ages ago.
When it comes to fashion, I typically don’t pick up on the latest styles until they’re already outdated, and by that point, I refuse to conform just because everyone else is doing it. I end up clinging to clothes that are multiple seasons old—and honestly, they probably weren’t even trendy back then either.
The same goes for pop culture. I couldn’t care less if someone calls me cheugy or basic. I’m sticking with my yoga pants, scented candles, and flavored coffees, thank you very much. I’ve given up trying to keep pace.
Those must-see Netflix series everyone can’t stop talking about? I’ll probably catch them during their second or third seasons—or even after they’ve concluded. I just began watching “Lucifer,” which is already in its fourth season (or is it the fifth?). I started “New Girl” three years after it ended, and I fell for “Broadchurch” two years post-cancellation. Sigh…
It doesn’t stop with fashion or pop culture. I often don’t grasp jokes until it’s too late, causing me to laugh at the wrong moments. I’ve also been guilty of using slang that’s long gone out of style, making me appear totally out of touch.
Sometimes, I feel out of sync with friendships too. I’m not a fan of small talk, so I rarely hear the latest town gossip. I’m not on Nextdoor, and local Facebook groups intimidate me. This can make me feel disconnected from social interactions since I struggle to keep up with what everyone seems to be discussing.
The truth is, I’m not behind because I’m “out of it.” I simply don’t care. I have no desire to use trendy catchphrases or stay updated on gossip. Social media can feel overwhelming, and the effort to fit in is exhausting and demoralizing. Just thinking about how much work it takes to “Keep Up with the Joneses” makes me want to throw my computer away, retreat to a tiny house in the woods (or even better, a tiny tropical island), and disengage completely.
But then I’d miss out on those “new” series that premiered three years ago and wouldn’t be able to annoy my kids with my “bussin’” lingo. Instead, I think I’ll just throw on my favorite yoga pants, light a scented candle, and sip some cheap flavored coffee while flipping through US Weekly, reading about celebrities I don’t recognize. Care to join? At least you’ll know I won’t judge if you feel behind too.
