My best friend is CF. We never talk about kids when we hang out and for me it's a welcome break from motherhood. I have mom friends I can talk kids with. With her it's work, clothes, movies, books, travel, news.

2 mom friends and I do 'round robin' carpet cleaning: one day you rent the rig and have a mom helper, one day you are the helper at another mom's house, and the third time you keep all 7 of the kids for 4 hours while the other two moms clean. Saturday I'm babysitting, and two weeks after, it'll be my carpets!

I had no idea this site existed until I found the book last night! I debated with myself on actually purchasing it. I am so glad I did. Stories in here made me laugh, or bring tears to my eyes. I even related to some of the things. I have a son who might have autism & people think I am crazy for even mentioning it! Also I have twin boys... I never onced used ferlity drugs not that there is anything wrong with them, but people also talk in a whisper like I can't hear them. I love that moms can share and confess. I even passed this site on to some of my mom friends!

I find it disconcerting when my mom friends use their kids' photos for their own profile pics on facebook. Especially if they're cursing or going on about how Christian can tie them up and Fifty Shades of Grey, it's odd to see those words next to these little kids.

op who gives her toddler melatonin...the comments shocked me. I didnt realize it was a bad thing? A few other mom friends recommended it to me for my hyper autistic kid who has a terrible time going to bed. I thought it was a natural hormone and totally fine. I don't get the backlash?? even a nurse friend gives it to her toddler

You know what makes me feel like I've lost my identity, my mom friends only talk about their kids and only seemo relate to me as a MOM..or the volunteer at the school. No one seems interested in taking a class or going to see a kid-free movie...planning a kid-free night out. I feel like I just don't like this life much but everyone else loves it. Kids, kids, kids....24/7....

I'm the op who thinks I'm pretty but no else thinks so. I am a widowed single mom. They don't outright say I'm ugly. But ex: they will say "I'm so fat and ugly.I think people treat me badly cuz of it. I'm sure you know what I mean." Or my other single mom friends will say the last time they got laid was November and I'll say December for me. They will be shocked, and say "OMG you're beating me!" As if I'm unfuckable. Or I will say "It seems only weird people ever hit on me." them: "people hit on you?" I've heard shit like that all my life but I still think I'm hot. Maybe I'm delusional. IDK.

There is a very big difference between being single AND a mom and being a mom with no one on her own . My single mom friends or “divorced” mom friends go out way more than I ever thought about going out and I have my DH and only 1 kid and a lot of these moms have more than 1 ... usually the EX gets the kids at least one weekend and they get all kinds of help for being “a single mom” so no sometimes a family with two parents has it a lot harder

I want mom friends that don't come as a package with their husbands, are willing to do a girls' night on the weekend, and that when we go out don't just talk about dirty diapers. Also, some mom friends that go out and do outdoorsey things would be cool too. I work full time and I don't want to talk about my job or kids. Lets talk sports, shoes, ourselves, movies, something other than what I live all day.

My working mom friends always want to hang out on weekends. Sorry, but I do play dates and lunch dates during the week. Weekends are mostly family time. Sure we can do a lunch or a weekend playdate here and there, but not every weekend or even every other weekend.
