Do you know how hard it is to make friends when you're new to the whole Mum thing? You're covered in coffee stains and poop, baby vom in your hair and usually wearing your shirt inside out (totes me about 5 years ago). You never have an adult conversation and when you get a sales call from your mobile provider, you usually stay on the phone for an hour and a half telling them how many times your child took a shit that day.
Nobody cares. Your normal friends with normal lives don't care. With all that normal freedom, they don't care. But then, across the park, you spot a Mum with her kids, snot in her hair and vom smeared on a boob - she's just like you and you know that she'll care. But how do you become friends?
Your kids play together, you laugh at them punching each other in the face, throwing bark on one another, then she jokes 'is it too early to drink wine?' then you look in her eyes and you KNOW that you need to be her friend.
So you go in for the kill 'what's your number? Maybe we could get coffee and take the kids to the park one time'. She replies 'yeah sure, sounds fun'.
Boom! You're in.
If that were regular dating, you'd totally get laid.
Mum dating is harder than normal dating. You don't want to come across desperate for friends; but really, you are. You need great friends in your life. Let's be honest; your husband doesn't listen to you.... Your girlfriends do. Us mums - us women have to stick together. Woman power and all that shit.
This isn't mean girls. Don't be a bitch. Be a friend.
Good girlfriends is what keeps me sane. I love you girls!
You, me + 3
