Everyone is busy. Parents, non-parents…ev-ery-one. Free time is exceptionally valuable. I feel like it truly has become m o r e difficult since I became a parent. Now my schedule revolves around nap times and meal times, and preschool schedules and soccer games. The window in which I can see my friends has become ever more tiny. And it only takes one unexpected poop explosion or one bad traffic afternoon to totally obliterate the chance of quality time with friends. But today on the blog, I’m talking about how to have real friends as new mom and spend time with them, too.

Many moms, so many moms, (nearly ALL the moms, I believe), face some form of struggle and/or depression with SAHM life. But societal and personal pressures are speaking in to us, telling us that admitting that life is difficult is in some way saying that we are “ungrateful” for the immense blessing of being able to stay at home raising kids. That other moms wish they could have our lives, but can’t. The not-so-subtle messaging here is that we darn well better love SAHM life. And as for personal pressures, we SAHM’s can feel that we’re failing ourselves or our kids if we’re at all unhappy or are struggling in our efforts to soak up every second of these early years – that literally every person constantly reminds us is so precious. And it IS, we agree it is, but that’s not the point.
I believe we have an opportunity to resist these pressures and start changing these narratives that have been shaping our motherhood journeys. Where there has been guilt and shame, there should be empowerment, encouragement, and freedom to embrace our individualities as mothers.
