OK. I had prenatal depression and severe postpartum depression. I hated being pregnant the whole time. It was scary and really hard.

Aww, thanks. I was basically told by one woman who was a registered nurse who had a mom support circle that they only like to see healthy babies and breastfed babies are just healthier, smarter, and prettier.

I wanted to scream. None of this is supported by science, of course, just “knowledge”.

Despite my childless status, I read these articles to figure out how to relate to my friends with kids. I see over and over people saying they’re abandoned by friends, and I’m desperately trying to STAY in touch with my friends who have kids. I love spending time with the whole family and am not someone who doesn’t…

I suck at making mom friends. My kid is 18 months old and despite awkward hovering at the playground, library, music class, and various coffee shops, I still have not made a single new mom friend. And I live in a commuter town MECCA of young families. It feels like everyone is older and already has their clique.

I hope your shitty friend changes her mind and does the right thing

Mommy friends. Oye. I got lucky and one I find my BFFS is due 6 weeks before me. She and I have so many parenting ideals in common. It’s refreshing.

And that state of affairs continues when they’re in school. Oops, sorry! Only P-T conference left is Tuesday at 2PM! Hey! No aftercare this week! Your child has a mysterious rash! Take him to the doctor immediately and don’t come back without a note!

It feels a lot like dating. We need a Tinder for finding mom friends.

I had absolutely no friends with children (at least not baby-children). I knew a girl at quilt guild who was due around the same time as me. After mine was born early and I learned (through stalking of her blog) that hers had just arrived, I e-mailed her and literally said, “I don’t have family here, and it looks like…

My best “mom friends” are people I was friends with before I had my daughter ie something else brought us together and then we happened to have kids around the same time. I moved away from the town I had her in which was smallish and very community oriented and in this new town (a suburb of Boston), have struggled to…

It would be so great if everyone had this perfect little realization and supportive friends. My daughter is 3 and I’ve never felt more lonely. My pre-baby friends all abandoned me when I no longer could join them for wine nights and my severe PPD and anxiety made the thought of conversing with other moms (Good ones…

I’ve been struggling with this. I feel like I stalk mom’s of other kids my age.

Hope my girls get the grades to gain admission to Wellesley.

good! I know when I’m in a shitty place emotionally sometimes assholes can get to me, so I just wanted to make sure you were doing good, which you clearly are!
