Can we please stop making posts asking for βmom friendsβ if you have no intention of actually being one?
I see so many posts saying, βI need someone to text,β βLetβs make a group chat,β or βI just want mom friends,β and then when someone actually reaches outβ¦ nothing. One word replies, no effort to keep the conversation going, never asking anything back, and the group chat never even gets made.
At some point, I think some people need to get to know themselves first. How am I supposed to get to know someone who has no interests, no hobbies, no opinions on anything, and whose entire personality is just βIβm a momβ but they canβt even text back?
Being a mom is a huge part of who we are, but it shouldnβt be the only thing there is to talk about. Tell me what music you like. What shows youβre watching. What hobbies you have. What you believe in. What makes you laugh. Letβs have an actual conversation.
Friendships donβt magically happen because we both have kids. They take effort from both people. If you genuinely want mom friends, youβve got to be willing to show up as a friend too.
When someone messages you after your βlooking for mom friendsβ post, be honest do you usuallyβ¦
