Two of my favorite internet people, Karen from Baby Sideburns and Elle from What’s Up Moms got together to tell a little story (a true story) about making mom friends.
MORAL: If you see another mom you want to get to know at the playground, talk to her and ask for her number. She won’t think you are creepy or weird or trying to hit on her. She is probably searching for likeminded mom friends too.
I should take a lesson. This morning, I walked into Mazzy’s new kindergarten class and was more intimidated by the parents than Mazzy was by the students. Not that anyone looked particularly scary. Just that it reminded me of the first day of college when I knew absolutely no one and wasn’t quite sure where I fit in yet.
I hope Mazzy and I both make some new friends this year.
In the mean time, I’ve got pretty cool internet mom friends…
Five years in, and I’ve finally got a small group of cool mom friends. There is nothing more valuable! They don’t even make me feel like crap about myself. Like, ever.
But there’s still something special about my online mom friends. They were my first, and I’ll always love them.
My daughter (3) just started daycare this year. They had a back-to-school parents meeting a few weeks ago. Afterwards, I told my husband that I felt like I was back in high school! I saw the same cliques and started to worry. I have to be friends with these people! My daughter’s relationships will depend on my relationships with their parents! Why didn’t I think of this before having kids?
The mom who intimidated me the most Mazzy’s first day of preschool is now one of my best friends. It’s Seri from Little Miss Party (if you follow my blog regularly, you probably hear me mention her a lot) and we share an office now. It will be ok!
do yourselves a favor and watch it with captions on (im at work) i am Dying from laughing
We have a similar problem in our house….but I have two kids of two different ages. How do you manage play dates for both kids? How do you find mom friends who match up with the ages that you need?
Such a cute video though!
Then night after I watched this, I had a dream that you and I met in a similar scenario, except I didn’t even have my child with me, but just wanted to be your friend! Harlow was talking in complete, 5 word sentences by the way.
