Mom friends
are quite simply indispensable. They can
save your life, your job and your sanity.
For example, no matter how well you think you have set up child care and
all that entails, there are always surprises.
And that is when you need your go-to mom friends. They are the women you call when you just
can't get there -- for whatever "there" happens to be. It can be as simple as a school, activity or
party pick up. It can be a child's event
that you just can't make it to or that you will be late for. These women are also your reality
checkers. When faced with parenting challenges,
I go to them, too. Interestingly enough,
mom friends are not all moms -- but they do know how to be a good friend to
one. And for the help, wisdom and
support of all my "mom" friends (mothers or not), I am very grateful.
