mom friends
Your mom friends should support you throughout the ups and downs of parenthood — but what if one of them is causing you stress instead of supporting you?
"It wasn't until the onset of COVID-19 that it became apparent most of my new friends were either Trump supporters and/or entangled in QAnon conspiracy theories."

"Oh crap. I only have one mom friend."
It's such a contradiction. I dreamt for so many years of being a stay-at-home mom, and when it finally happened, I started to get bored. So then I started scheduling a bunch of stuff, and before I knew it, I wasn't even enjoying my kids. Here's how I changed that.
Friends, if you say any of the following things to me, know that I still love you and your child, but I'm also going to have a good chuckle at your expense later.
