Mommy Friend? What Is That?
Mindy was the first mom friend that I ever had. Her son Remy and Paige were inseparable and therefore she and I were inseparable. We did everything together and I was incredibly heartbroken the day that they moved to New Jersey. It was like my world just fell to pieces.
Since then, I have never had a mom friend quite like that. You know, they type of friendship that you would carry on whether or not your kids actually liked each other. My friend Cathy is a mom, but I don’t consider her a “mom friend” even though she has three kids. I actually consider her a soul sister, who just happens to have children.
Nowadays, I don’t really worry about connecting with friends who are moms. Paige is older, I don’t need to set up play dates and there’s no going to pick her from school and casually running into other parents anymore. I am now focused on expanding my circle of friends and maintaining the circle that already exists. And at some point, I would like to find a husband, partner, boyfriend, whatever.

Shameless!
In the interest of full disclosure, please note that product links redirecting you to other sites such as Amazon
, BlueHost, Freshbooks and OpenSky may take you a purchase page of a company where I am a member of an affiliate program. As a result, I will often get a small percentage of the revenue or a commission off of something you have purchased. I am not otherwise paid to link to these sites, nor do I link to any products that I don't actually use or covet in real life. On the rare occasion I accept payment to review a product, it will be duly noted in its associated post.
Have no fear - you are under no obligation to buy anything to get the full enjoyment of this site. We can still be friends even if you never click on an affiliate link. Rest assured, this is all low pressure. I will never show up at your door with tiny vials of Avon perfume or trial jars of pearl cream to entice you. That said, I do truly appreciate when you do purchase something from a linked site - it all helps to keep the lights on and a roof over our heads.

I think some of the best friends come when we quit looking so hard for them. Perhaps that theory could apply to men too…
I think I’ve shared before that I looked for a playgroup when we first moved from NYC, even though playgroups generally represent everything I sort of hate. However, we found one with very nice people. The moms drink and cuss (not in front of the kids…) and we babysit each others’ kids so we get a parents’ night out from time to time. We do a lot of community service, like making dinner for the Ronald McDonald House once a month. And while I haven’t really made any close “mommy friends,” it’s lovely. HOWEVER, the other one I investigated was sketchy. The mom who was in charge responded to my interest email to tell me she’d need to screen me first, maybe over lunch, and that I would need to pay my $2 monthly fee and plan at least one event before I could be considered for membership in the group. Uh, I don’t need friends that bad, lady.
