Rant Needed. Other mom friends are effing annoying.

J. • 👼🏻🌈👶🏻

So i joined some friends today at the swimming pool with the babies (only our second time swimming).. and both of their kids are over the age of 1. I got there a bit early so I wasn’t so overwhelmed with getting my 4 month old napped, fed, and dressed to go all by myself (plus pumping). The entire time I’d get asked oh how’s he doing with xyz ‘this’. And I’d get halfway through how he’s doing and then it just launched into a conversation about how their own kid is doing and comparing it. If you don’t actually give a shit about what I have to say, don’t bother speaking to me. Don’t cut me off to launch into your own experience and make me feel like mine is a ‘been there done that’ for you. Then I got asked about my maternity leave and what we were doing and as soon as I express it, I get an opinion? Yes my husband and I have it under control. I don’t really need an opinion or a comparison to your experience about every single aspect of my life. Then when it is something you don’t have a comparison to you don’t even let me finish speaking.

Since when did other moms forget what it’s like to be a new mom and that they just need to be supportive? I don’t want to be goddamn related to. I want someone to acknowledge I’m having my own fucking experience.

Never again.
