In How being a new mom can change old friendships by Lauren Pelley, the topic of parents and their kid-free friends is explored. The article also includes "mom confessions," where women share their experiences of becoming a new mom and how it impacted their friendships. It's a fun read!
An excerpt from the article:
"Poop problems aside, motherhood in general throws a wrench in
friendships. But as conversations turn from Tinder dates to diaper
changes and quick coffee catch-ups replace late-night dinners, experts
say friends without kids need to be sensitive to how much a new mom’s
life has changed overnight — while moms need to make effort to keep old
friendships strong."
Ever since the book came out, I've received feedback about how it's made women think about friendships throughout their lives, as well as who is in their lives now. The goal of this blog is to open up and create a dialogue about friendships: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Each week I will post my thoughts, experiences, as well as various articles, topics or quotes that I feel are important when examining female friendships. Please feel free to leave comments; I look forward to hearing from you!
