Hi, I’m Meredith Masony from That’s Inappropriate. How can I help?

Here is a quick “definitive guide” to 1980’s vs 2018 Mom: Christmas Edition:

  1. 1980s Mom vibe
    1. Kids outside, unsupervised, drinking from the hose
    2. Christmas was simpler: basic decorations, no Pinterest pressure
    3. Gifts were what you got, and you were grateful, end of story
    4. No seatbelts, no helmets, definitely no organic snacks
  2. 2018 Mom vibe
    1. Overthinking every tradition, checking 47 Pinterest boards
    2. Elf on the Shelf stress, perfectly curated photos, matching jammies
    3. Too many toys, not enough time, and a permanent layer of mom guilt
    4. Attempting “holiday magic” while secretly just wanting a nap

The joke of the video is that most of us are a messy blend of both: we grew up like 80s kids, but we’re parenting in a 2018 world that expects us to be magical Christmas cruise directors.

Would you like a breakdown of a specific scene or quote from the video?
