Why Moms Need Friends
I loved this article I read in the June issue of Parents called “Why Moms Need Friends.” It states that “. . . moms make friends not just because it’s convenient, but because it’s utterly essential to our health and happiness.” Wow! Now there’s a reason to justify girls night out!
Here’s a recap of the five reasons why we need friends:
- They Help You De-Stress
- They’re Not Your Mother
- They’re Always Brutally Honest
- They Get It Like Your Husband Can’t
- They’ve Been There, Done That
As a mom with young children, one of the things I’ve learned is that yes, of course, moms needs friends, but moms especially need friends with children the same age as their own children. As a mom, you go through so much with young children and you need that reassurance from friends that it’s all okay! Nobody understands what you are going through like a buddy that’s right there with you.
The article talks about how sometimes your own mom doesn’t know the answer because things were different in her day. Let’s face it SharpMoms, we wouldn’t know what to do with a diaper pin!
