This is dad bod to me: muscles, broad shoulders that can carry children, strong arms that can swing them around and build shit. No gut. My idea of a mom bod is similar. Strong arms and defined muscles, she can pick her kids up too and defend them if she has to.  I don't get this whole "mom/dad bods should be fat." What if someone picks your kid up and runs away with them, and all you can do is waddle after them at -3 miles an hr while screaming in your fat voice? You should be able to play with your kids and keep up with them, too. Fat fucks are awful parents. Good parents should be fit.
