OK so I totally stole this from this blog post: Perfect Advice
Read it. It's good.
"Here’s the only tidbit you should follow: Find a few GOOD moms out there that you trust. What does a “good mom” look like you ask? Here’s the test to finding one: When you share a hardship, they will say “Oh my god! ME TOO!” If they don’t immediately react like that they are A) lying and B) not worth it. And make sure you return the favor. If things are hard – tell someone. Share your woes, so other mommy friends don’t feel alone either."
Holy to the point. I think this has got to be some of the best advice I have ever heard. The best part about it is that I notice myself spending more time with Moms who do that to me!
I don't usually call people out on my blog but in this case I had to.
Um.....Monika? Holy crap! Are we not constantly saying 'ME TOO' to each other??!! I think this was directly meant for us. Tracy....you too!
I love having Moms to share my struggles with. Especially Moms who share the same struggles. "Struggling together, one messy diaper at a time." This should be our slogan!
Don't get me wrong, this being a parent thing.....total breeze. Never would have ever expected it to be this easy. It has its hard days, yes. But I can honestly say that my Baby Girl and I have WAY more good days than bad days.
It's not all about the parenting though. What about the rest of our lives? The rest of my life is in total chaos? How about yours? It is what it is, but being able to share it and actually have other Moms who say "ME TOO" really gives me hope.
Thanks for being my "ME TOO" girls.
