12 Signs You're In the Newest Generation of Modern Moms

As soon as you settled on the name, you went straight to Gmail and registered for every iteration you could think up: first name, last name; first initial, last name . . . When you discover that all the clean ones are taken and you’ll have to start adding numbers to the end, you seriously consider thinking up a more unique moniker.

“Can you help me out with bath time?” “911 — we’re out of diapers!” No need to yell when you can shoot off a quick text message from upstairs . . . or in the next room.

When you are looking for a quick after-school snack idea or a one-pot dinner recipe, you go to the one place you know will inspire you. Pinterest is your sous chef and your party planner. You don’t know how parents planned first birthdays, grade school graduations, or Easter egg hunts without it.

Why call one fellow mom for her opinion when you can crowdsource all of your Facebook followers? If you need advice or just a throng of parents to listen to you vent, a bevy of helpful responses is just one quick click away. And all that Facebook stalking comes in handy, too: there’s a good chance you’ve picked up a handy potty-training tip from a few borderline-TMI mobile uploads.

It’s not enough to resist buying your daughter Barbie dolls and pants with the word “Princess” bedazzled in sequins across the front. You also resist referring to your daughter with feminine pronouns or gendered descriptors of any kind. That is, until your child identifies herself (or himself!) as such.

Sure, in your heart of hearts you know your little one is a supergenius, but you also know better than to raise a narcissist. You subscribe to child psychology journals, follow pediatric experts on Twitter, and read every behavioral and developmental study as soon as it’s published. No, you’re not smart for doing that — you’re hard-working.

Whether you have designated hashtags for your child or not, you don’t shy away from posting adorable snaps or paraphrasing hilarious exchanges. So what if by the time they’re an adult, every embarrassing moment of their upbringing will be carefully tagged and archived online? It’ll make prepping that rehearsal dinner slideshow that much easier!

That perplexing, will-we-live-to-regret-this moment when you discover your baby knows how to swipe an iPad but can’t quite figure out how to turn the page of a magazine? Yeah, you have it on video.

You’re trying not to stress out over the fact that your toddler hasn’t mastered spoken-word poetry quite yet. Just because you started printing off the “Is Your Child Ready For School?” checklists when you were six months pregnant, doesn’t mean your tyke is actually behind.

You wouldn’t dare feed your baby out of a (gasp!) Gerber jar, so you steam all your own organic, locally grown vegetables and puree them by hand. While eating Cheetos.

It wasn’t long ago when you were rolling your eyes at the 20-somethings who spent their entire nights out snapping pictures of themselves — you think the act is being called “taking a selfie,” right? Now, the self-taken cell phone photo is so ubiquitous, you take some with your kid on the regular.

Your baby had more pictures taken of him in his first year than you had in your entire lifetime, and it’s still not enough (despite what your iPhone storage space looks like). Too bad all the picture frames in your house still have photos of you from college. You’ll get that jump drive to Walgreens 1-Hour Photo eventually . . .
