Before I Was A Mother I Was A Menace — Hoodie
Hoodie — the “Before I Was A Mother I Was A Menace” mom statement
“Before I Was A Mother I Was A Menace” is the warning label on the world’s most responsible wild card — running the household now, but the streets remember.
Menace here means the fun kind of trouble: the one who knew every afterparty, talked their way into everything, and lived like consequences were a rumor.
Motherhood didn’t erase the menace — it scheduled it. It’s still in there; it just has a bedtime now, and the bedtime is the kids’.
This is for the moms with a past: the PTA knows them as reliable, but the day-ones know the archives.
Respect the transformation. Fear the flashbacks.
