Have you heard about the viral mom stereotypes taking over social media? The "White SUV Mom" versus the "Black SUV Mom" debate has become shorthand for different approaches to motherhood—but how accurate are these categories really?

As we celebrate our one-year podcast anniversary (and 75,000 downloads!), we're diving into these hilarious stereotypes while confessing what our vehicles actually look like behind the Instagram-worthy facade. Spoiler alert: there are goldfish crackers everywhere, and neither of us has washed our cars in... well, let's just say it's been a while.

Beyond vehicle preferences, we explore other mom categorizations that have us laughing at ourselves: Are you a hot coffee or iced coffee mom? Crockpot devotee or drive-thru regular? Target shopper or Dollar General warrior? Essential oils believer or "just give them Tylenol" pragmatist? Each revelation brings us closer to the truth—we're all just doing our best with what we've got.

The conversation takes a heartfelt turn when we share the wisdom that's carried us through the chaos of motherhood: "Something's going to get left undone. Make sure it's not you or your family." In a world obsessed with categorizing mothers, we're reminding each other that the state of our vehicles doesn't define our worth as parents.

Whether you drive a pristine SUV or a crumb-filled minivan, this episode is your permission slip to let go of the pressure to fit neatly into mom stereotypes. Because at the end of the day, we're all just running on coffee and prayers!

Speaker 1:

Parish yes, where we live in grand old Acadia Parish yes, where we live in grand old Acadia. Parish Food. I don't know if you knew this Food is big over here.

Speaker 2:

We love food. We like to eat. If you like to eat, you know everybody's got to eat. We like rice especially.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and did you know Acadia Parish is the biggest rice producer in the state I?

Speaker 2:

would venture to guess that we probably are.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's true. I mean, this paper says it's true.

Speaker 2:

This paper says it's true, yeah, and I know very many rice mills around here, a lot, yeah, agree. So we got the rice, babe, and we got the plate lunches boudin, jambalaya, the cracklings there's something to satisfy any Cajun craving. That's true. Y'all come over, y'all come find out, because we got the Boudin Trail. On what is it AcadiaTourismcom? Yep, there's something called the Boudin Trail. Boudin Trail, cracklin Trail.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, there's the Meats Trail. I think too, like specialty meats, specialty meats, and the trail is really a map. It's going to show you all the little places to go and hit up and it's really a trail of food you can eat your way through the parish.

Speaker 2:

There's churches. You know, it tells you all the historical churches, graveyards. Even it tells you where Charlene Richard's gravesite is. Yes, there's so many things to do here, even on a weekend that's bland, but not during October. There are zero weekends that are bland in october true yep, so y'all stop by any of our delicious places to eat cajun restaurants go to acadiatourismcom.

Speaker 1:

Yep, for a list and maps and details. Okay, on everything you could do, that's right, and come visit us in acadia, parish all right. Okay, today we have such a fun topic okay, sometimes I don't remember where inspiration strikes us for these topics, but we both started laughing when we were talking about it, so we wanted to bring it to y'all, because we're going to tell you a little bit about ourselves. Yeah, through these things.

Speaker 2:

We're going to call this the white SUV mom and the black SUV mom. If you haven't heard this, it's not something we came up with. This is like a thing right now, okay, or maybe not even right now. We're going to say it is, it's a mom stereotype. Okay, I'm going to read to you about the white SUV mom, because clearly that's what I am Okay. About the white SUV mom, because clearly that's what I am Okay, and then you can read about the black SUV mom. I'm going to hand it over.

Speaker 1:

You're going to hand it to me. Good, because I'm like I don't have that on my phone, but okay.

Speaker 2:

White SUV. Mom is usually the mom people picture as the more Pinterest-y or Targon run chic. She drives a white Tahoe Yukon Highlander Palisade type SUV, drinks iced coffees, has matching Stanley cups, wears Lululemon, decorates every holiday and a kid show up to practice with coordinated snacks and cute Ziplocs. She is the organized chaos but looks put together, mom.

Speaker 1:

Wow, that's the white SUV. Mom, that's white SUV. Okay, if you have a white SUV, please let us know if these characteristics describe you in the comments. Let us know Now if you are a black SUV mom. You are usually seen as the no-nonsense boss, energy mom. She drives a black Escalade Suburban Tahoe with tinted windows, hair in a slick back bun, probably blasting 2000s hip-hop or country, while handling business on the Bluetooth. She's a mom you don't want to mess with in a car line. Neither She'll cut you off and not think twice. She's classy, a little bit intimidating and has her life together in a more power move type of way. Now, immediately I thought of somebody that drives a black Tahoe and fits most of these criterias, and that is Ashley Boutte.

Speaker 2:

That's so, ashley.

Speaker 1:

Boutte so.

Speaker 2:

Ashley Boutte, Shout out girl.

Speaker 1:

We love it. But I'm going to say this is BS. Yeah, because I drive a white SUV and I am definitely not Pinterest-y or Target-y chic at all. No, so what? I mean what? And what happens if you drive a silver? Are you a?

Speaker 2:

little bit of both. I drive a silver and I'm ratchet as hell, so I'm definitely a black SUV. Mom. We not coming with organized snacks, we are flying out the house with you know, like we. I don't even know if we have a water bottle sometimes. Sometimes, you know, it's just hopefully we have diapers, you know, and if we do, it's probably because my husband packed them or I had one of the kids back them before we are flying by the seat of our pants, uh, the inside of the vehicle is absolutely disgusting.

Speaker 1:

I mean, there's always crumbs, always the carpet needs to be vacuumed in there. That's me, that's my white SUV. So I don't know, I'm going to put a little bit of skepticism in those classifications, I'm just going to say yeah, it doesn't matter and the white is always dirty.

Speaker 1:

I mean, I washed my car for the first time in probably a year this past weekend. Why I hate washing that thing? Yes, and you know why? I was, low-key, forced to because my husband said it's time for me to wax the car. Yes, in case you didn't know, my husband likes to wax a vehicle every so often.

Speaker 2:

Oh my gosh, this is a whole new layer.

Speaker 1:

So he's like can you and the girls because my kids love washing the car, they ask me to wash the car so they could play with the water hose will you and the girls please wash uh, suzy, that's what we call my, my subaru, wash suzy this weekend because I need a waxer and I'm like, oh, it was like pulling teeth. You hear, I just hate it. I don't know why, I do you know?

Speaker 2:

my daddy always had us washing cars, and so I feel like I've done that so much in my life. That's how I used to earn my money.

Speaker 1:

I would wash my parents' vehicles and my. But you know, my daddy always kept a clean vehicle. Yeah, mine too, and now I just do not care.

Speaker 2:

To my fault. It was clean and I was just like he's rolling right now because, all right, I'm just rolling. The state of these vehicles, the way that my car is getting washed these days, is through one of those fancy ones that you pay 15 and I hate doing that too and it goes through and puts a wax on and everything. If it's not that I know I can't tell you. The last time I got the brush out and but I did think about doing it, um, recently, thought about it.

Speaker 2:

I thought about it but, I couldn't because I had a bunch of stuff in my driveway, you know like I have the shop and all that. Yeah, I'm too much going on now, oh, now, oh, it's gonna make a mud hole yeah, it's raining, yeah well, it's just rain tomorrow.

Speaker 1:

A mud hole yeah, it's raining. Yeah Well, it's going to just rain tomorrow. Well, I told him. I said, you know, it's going to rain if we have a clean car. And then I had to go pick up the kids from somewhere. And now we washed her on Saturday and he was going to wax on Sunday. Well, I had to go pick up the kids somewhere Saturday and I was like I hate to tell you this, but every bug in the universe was out on the road. So it got dirty again and I'm like it don't stay clean enough.

Speaker 2:

Do you know how to clean bugs off your vehicle?

Speaker 1:

Is it Dawn? No, what is it? It is a dryer sheet oh yes, I had read that one time A dryer sheet with a little water. Water Comes right off.

Speaker 2:

But if you leave it too long then the bugs bugs, they get implanted into your clear coat and, like you, just got a bug print in your clear coat. That's where I'm at right now.

Speaker 1:

That's where you're at, but my daddy taught me the uh dryer sheet thing, which is perfect timing because it is love bug season and they are everywhere they are relentless. Just do y'all have the love bugs like we do. You know we're talking about them too.

Speaker 1:

Them, them, they, you, today in love because they linked up, okay, and they black and they don't sting, thank god, or we'd be in trouble. Um, but they get all over your vehicle and they make a mess. In september is prime blood, blood, blood, love, bug season, oh man. So so might as well not watch your card in. No, I know, but they said that there's acid in them. That's what I was always told like. They're acidic, so if you leave them on your paint, it eats up your paint yeah, so I think that's of all bugs, though probably, you know, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

I kind of want to go to look at my car right now. I probably got a few dragonflies stuck in there, who knows? Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Let us know in the comments Do y'all wash y'all, do y'all keep a clean car, or are you just surviving like us? Yeah?

Speaker 2:

I mean.

Speaker 1:

I don't know. I feel like I definitely don't want a newer I mean I know my vehicle to get a new new vehicle until the kids are out, because it just can't stay clean in there.

Speaker 2:

I always wanted a black vehicle Always, and see the way that I'm set up. Ain't no way I could keep a black vehicle.

Speaker 1:

I had. My first car was white. My second car, which was a nicer car, was a black Honda Accord and I loved it.

Speaker 2:

But God, the black is so hard to keep clean.

Speaker 1:

The bugs really show on that and the dirt just the. I mean I lived on a gravel road so it never stayed, it was never clean and you see the way my bank account set up.

Speaker 2:

I I can't just pay somebody to come wash my vehicle all the time.

Speaker 1:

No, I would love to pay 87 washes to come and clean my vehicle like once a month.

Speaker 2:

Maybe I'm going to treat myself to that I should because it's been at least six months At least, and I felt so powerful?

Speaker 1:

Don't you feel just unstoppable with a clean vehicle? I?

Speaker 2:

feel like a white SUV mom when my vehicle's clean. True that, but that is not. It's very few and far between.

Speaker 1:

It is.

Speaker 2:

I don't know. What do you think? What are you? You the white SUV mom or the black SUV mom? Doesn't matter what color your vehicle is what is your stereotype?

Speaker 1:

what's your style? Yeah, now I thought about a few other little uh like this or that type of moms out there now our friend laurel, though she's definitely a white definitely, and she has a white jeep. Yeah, there you go. Yeah, I know, and I I love it for her yeah, I love that for her. Yes, um, okay, how about, uh uh, ice coffee or hot coffee?

Speaker 1:

um, for me yeah oh, I already know this, but tell me um, hot, okay, in my mind the ice coffee moms are like the starbucksers, like you go to starbucks and you get your little ice coffee and you go stroll around target, yeah, if you make it, if you're a hot coffee person, you making that at home, like I'm brewing my coffee at home. It's just very casual, very like basic brew. Oh yeah, that's my.

Speaker 2:

In my eyes, and I'm definitely a listen. Now you catch us out and about, I'm okay with having a fancy hot hot coffee I do love to go to target, but I just want you to know that I'm we know somebody, too, that goes to Starbucks daily.

Speaker 1:

Brittany Zabala goes to Starbucks every single day.

Speaker 2:

I about died when she said every single day I go to Starbucks.

Speaker 1:

That's her joy, Like you know. Like just our little coffee at home is our joy, that Starbucks is her joy.

Speaker 2:

But I can enjoy mini cups when you know mini cups, Mini cups, Mini cups as many as time she goes through it, but, like sometimes, your joy just needs to be indulged.

Speaker 2:

Indulged, yeah, but I don't know Me. I am the type of mom that is coming in hot and hot coffee. Okay, I do not like to use one of those thermoses, because why would I do that? I mean, they spill anyway. Because, like, I can't get the top to do what I wanted to, and then I end up with coffee everywhere. So I come in with my mug, my big 15-ounce mug, in my car, and I have figured out the way to balance myself with my hot mug.

Speaker 1:

As you're driving in a bumpy road, as I'm driving.

Speaker 2:

Sometimes I'm on the way to your house and I have my big mug and then I put it in the back because I already got to your house and finished the whole thing. But yeah, no, I am that mom that will hold the coffee mug.

Speaker 1:

The actual coffee mug in the car with no lid.

Speaker 2:

No.

Speaker 1:

Taking all the chances.

Speaker 2:

If the chance, it's the same. Living on a prayer, it's the same, though. Have you ever tried to drink out of one of those?

Speaker 1:

With a lid? Yeah, but it stays so hot you burn your tongue on it, Exactly.

Speaker 2:

That's not enjoyable to me. No, I'd rather live on the edge. Okay, how about? Are you a crock pot mom or a drive-thru mom?

Speaker 1:

oh, I'm a crock pot mom, all the way. Yeah, what is that? Is that white or black suv suv? I would think I guess that's the black suv mom, the crock pot mom oh, and you think the other one's just going through the drive-thru?

Speaker 2:

yeah, I'm not. We throwing everything in the pot and if you don't eat it, peanut butter jelly too bad ppb and j or a grilled cheese. That's our default I want one of them. Fancy grilled cheese. Like you begin your teeth she. She sent me a picture of some sourdough grilled cheese on there.

Speaker 1:

I'm not even standing at the pot you know, and you didn't think I was telling the truth. Neither you said oh yeah, like your kids really want that sourdough, and I'm like you, don't tear it up, crust, and all well, I cut the bottom off. You know the bottom gets hard yeah, they're.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I cut the bottom off but they're at the top. They eat that and they and I was honestly surprised like I made one one day. I was like I don't know what to feed y'all. You want grilled cheese? Okay, can I have sourdough grilled cheese? Yeah, but let's have some meat too. We try to. I've been trying to get my kids to eat more meat and protein so I'm like let's have some meat to that. And I had some like loose ground beef that I had cooked and I was like I'm gonna make, I'm gonna try something. They loved it, it was good and I put like ketchup and mayo in it too, so it kind of had like a hamburger-y type taste, but it was grilled cheese and they asked for that like three more times after that. So I went through a whole sourdough loaf in like two days, because they ate so many sandwiches.

Speaker 1:

Which was a problem for me, because you couldn't keep up making them loaves.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I mean it's better for them anyway, it's much better than what I'm buying currently. But yeah, I'm a crockpot mama. What are you? Yeah?

Speaker 1:

same, you're not.

Speaker 2:

You're not going me, I ain't going to not going through the drive-thru, not even for me okay, sometimes we did, we do, but not when we're trying to behave we're trying to behave right now and I gotta say I'm very. I'm very thankful for you reeling me in on that. I'm saving money. I'm saving bloating. Bloating is better.

Speaker 1:

My digestion's never been better. Oh, I mean, and you're svelte, you're getting svelte, you're fitting into your pants again you know my lord, I wasn't able to fit into these pants.

Speaker 2:

Do you remember that I do I do okay, sometimes we like to put on other accents. Yeah, um, okay y'all probably didn't know that about us. No, we like to, we like sometimes that's usually behind the scenes. Yeah, behind the scenes we like to play other accents, um, but uh, this one's just here to stay, okay yeah, what about a?

Speaker 1:

are you a Target mom or a Dollar General mom? Oh, I hate the dollar store.

Speaker 2:

You do Uh-uh, I'm ordering. You won't go to the dollar store If I absolutely have to? I didn't know that about you. I have been, but I will try to order things online that you normally get at the dollar store, just so I don't have to go in there.

Speaker 1:

Like I know you would just rather Amazon it.

Speaker 2:

Oh, absolutely, like I get my toilet paper for some type of person, and Sam's helps me out, oh Sam's, and there's really no need for me to walk into a dollar store unless you know like there's a last minute item. You know I'm just not Okay Because, first off, it stinks in there most of the time, okay, um, unless it's dollar tree, then that's a totally different animal oh, I didn't specify what dollars.

Speaker 1:

I said dollar general.

Speaker 2:

That's yeah, yeah, okay you're right they stink just all of them, and, and a lot of times there's one. Well, I'm just talking, I'm, I'm you talking?

Speaker 1:

about church point Dollar General, my local.

Speaker 2:

You are correct in that there is one stinky one, and there's nobody wants to work over there Cause the air conditioning never works and it's just like that is not the type of life that I want anybody living, so why would I support it? Why?

Speaker 1:

would you support it?

Speaker 2:

Yes, now I like to go to the other one on the other end of town because that one's nice yeah. And he tells me see you tomorrow, correct?

Speaker 1:

And they say, don't? They say Jesus loves you too.

Speaker 2:

On the outside, none but the Jesus music in there all day long.

Speaker 1:

I enjoy that dollar store a lot, yes, so I'll take it back. But that, yeah, I know what you mean. But if you had a choice family dollar, dollar general, which one Dollar general on the rod side, okay, throw in a dollar tree and that puts all the rest away, you would go dollar tree all day long. A thousand percent.

Speaker 2:

A thousand percent. Okay, they don't have, like, the name brands, but if I'm going to just what's piddle, piddle. If I want a piddle, I'm going to just what's piddle, piddle. If I want a piddle, I'm going to Dollar Tree for sure.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I got you Last thing I could think of and I ain't going to get too in. We ain't debating too much about this so don't get crazy in the comments. Oh, essential oil mom. Oh, okay, no, no, no, no, no, no Essential oil mama. Or just give them some Tylenol. Okay, what kind of mom? What kind of mom are you? I was actually for a while I tried being the essential oil mama yeah uh-huh. But now I'm like just give them the Tylenol Mm-hmm, Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

See my first two children. I was definitely essential um and, but I did give Tylenol.

Speaker 1:

I'm kind of a mix, yeah, um but like I remember, uh, for the first, like when Brynn was born, um, and taking her for like her checkups and shots and stuff like that, they would say give Tylenol before you go, like as a preventative, and I remember thinking absolutely not, why would I give her medicine that she don't need? And then, but my mother-in-law was like, give her some ibuprofen and I was like nope.

Speaker 2:

And then when she cried, I was like I should have gave her the Tylenol you know I'm like, oh see, now it's got to be bad for me to give them the Tylenol they got to be running fever. I don't usually the Tylenol they got to be running fever. I don't usually give Tylenol just for no reason.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

You know, like it has to be obvious because I don't want them always on medicine, or like I don't know. No, who knows.

Speaker 1:

Okay, correct, correct.

Speaker 2:

So I did try the essential oil for a while, and I still love essential oils, me too, I do. But I'm going to give the Tylenol Two.

Speaker 1:

You know, yeah, I just will. Did you think of anything else? Like, what did you think I was going to say whenever I was talking? I don't know, I was very scared. You were nervous. I was like, oh God.

Speaker 2:

I thought it was like something that we argue on and we don't meet eye to eye. Oh, no, no, no, I can't even think of one thing that is. But surely there's got to be something, Surely there is something we don't see eye to eye on.

Speaker 1:

but I just like oh God, am I going to go on a rant about this? Oh, no, no, no, no, just because, like you know, that topic of medicine and stuff can be polarizing and I don't want to get into that, because if you think you're right or you're, if you think you're right, you're right because that's what you think that's for you, your children exactly you know best for them, but anyway.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, no matter what type of mom you are out there, let's just say you're doing a great job. Yeah, there's what you got with, what exactly you can be. Any type of way is going to be the best way for your child, because God has chosen you to be their mama. So you just keep on.

Speaker 2:

As long as you're taking care of your kid, then that's all that matters. You're seeing about them, you're seeing about your children and you're trying your best.

Speaker 1:

That's right, that's all we can do. That's all we can do. We should do our best and we trust god to do the rest that's all I can do.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that's how we live amen amen no, I don't know. I just I feel like, um, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves as mamas. There's a reason my car looks like that.

Speaker 2:

That's because I'm tending to other things. My kids, kids. They happy, they fed. You know, I make sure that they, you know they have everything they need, and that's why there's shoes all over my car and there's goldfish all over my car and there's trash, you know. Luckily I have those big girls now. They help me pick up, you know, but it's just like they're happy, they're fed. I'm getting them where they need to go and we need to go Doctor's appointments, things like that, and so yeah, like my mama tells me something's going to get left undone.

Speaker 1:

Something is always going to get left undone. Make sure it's not you or your family. Oh, that's good, the rest can wait. There's always going to be dishes. There's always going to be clothes. There's always going to be dishes. There's always going to be clothes.

Speaker 2:

There's always going to be messy cars, but make sure your family is seen about first, so most important is is that and I'll have plenty of time to worry about all the rest one day I'll be driving around a clean car maybe and or maybe not, I don't know um, or be cleaner than it is now.

Speaker 1:

But you know what the crazy part is like we that don't, just those things don't matter anymore. Like I remember I mean this was before I had kids like when I said I had, oh, I had that black accord, and after that I had a, a nice nissan maxima. I loved that car and, baby, I kept a clean car. That was a different time in my life. Like now. The girl back then would would have looked at my car now and been like what, what even is this, you know? But now, like I do not care no.

Speaker 1:

I mean, of course I don't want like gobs of trash and stinking in there and stuff, no, but I'm talking about the little things like it. Just that doesn't. It's not a priority at this point in my life. No, and that's okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think so too, and one day it might be, but it's not. I'd love to see my young self look at me now. I'd love to see what she thinks of everything.

Speaker 1:

And have a little talk and be like, oh baby, those things just don't matter.

Speaker 2:

You know, like all these things you think matter, no they don't, they really don't, and that's why I mean I just that's why so many times I look back and I'm like man. If only you knew, I sound like my mama.

Speaker 1:

Oh, we all turn into our mamas, oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

If only you knew. Oh, you know, I just yeah, what you're gonna do it's all part of the life experience. But white suv mom, black suv mom, it really don't matter. Take care of your children, take care of your family, take care of yourself. That's right, because if you're not well, then, who's gonna do it?

Speaker 1:

yeah, we can't do it all. We can't pour from an empty cup, that's right, so make sure you're spending that, that, that j Jesus time filling up your cup with what really matters.

Speaker 2:

Absolutely.

Speaker 1:

And good coffee. Hope you're filling up your cups with good coffee too. Yeah, we're running on coffee and prayers y'all.

Speaker 2:

Jesus and prayers.

Speaker 1:
