[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people want mom friends I don’t understand. Cool if it happens organically, but why is this a type of friend people want for the sake of it?[/quote]

Because we're lonely, OP. Not all of us are the queen bee mean moms like you clearly are.[/quote]

It’s also generally only an issue when it seems like others are friends and you are not included. It’s the same in an office or neighborhood. I don’t sit around thinking I have to have work friends or neighbor friends, but if there’s a big group of people either place who are very visibly friends with each other, it feels awkward to be excluded. I have friends but they aren’t associated with a specific place or activity, so when I spend time with them it’s not like we are excluding other people around us.

I think the parent friend thing is also stressful because it can also translate to kid cliques, and if your kid is outside one, you feel responsible on some level for not better facilitating friendships.[/quote]
