There will be times when you have to cancel a lunch date because of child care, or because of a stomach bug that the children all caught when they decided to have a tea party with lake water.
Having a mom friend who understands that, without taking it personal or getting upset, is a must.
Renée, writing into Romper, knows that this quality is a must when making mom friends:
“It’s wonderful to have friends that are moms, they just get it! From nipple pain to postpartum depression (PPD) to lack of sleep. Some of my closest friends are other moms because we just understand each other without having to engage in small talk. There are no stronger and more empathetic people than moms. We share compassion and love for our little munchkins but we also share a lot of pain and sadness. We get one another.”
