'Mom' jeans

I thought I understood mom jeans. I thought that they were just ugly jeans moms wore because they spent all their time and money on their kids. They didn't know or care that high waist-ed jeans were no longer cool (although they are coming back I'm told). But no. Now that I am a mom I realize it is do to the baby pudginess that I'm told never really goes away. So, good bye low rise jeans. I also have a fuller understanding of 'muffin top.'
