A Personal Ad For Mommy Friends
The husband and I was having a conversation about friendships a couple days ago and he says that when couples have kids that they no longer want nor have time for real friendships with other people. I have to believe that he’s not right because I want some new friendships. And, believe me, I’ve tried. I’ve sifted through neighbors and soccer moms and just whatever I can find in this small town but nothing has stuck.
I’ll just go ahead and post my friendship personal ad here and you tell me whether I’m being crazy and unrealistic.
“Hi. I’m a married mom of two boys looking for friendships with married couples with one or more children for dinner dates, get-togethers and adult conversations.
Must have similar interests & values such as
An education
Full set of teeth
You must actually love & care for your children
A Sense of Humor *Thanks for reminding me Leslie
Open-mindedness, progressive, honest, liberal. Need I say more?
*Ability to make a cocktail a PLUS when Mommy has had a bad day
Is this too much to ask? I’m quite easy to please don’t you think? Or am I?
Edited to Add: After writing this, I saw that the Zero Boss had talked about a quite similar topic yesterday, Meeting Other Couples... and I wanted to link to it. It's nice to know we're not the only ones who stink. Of course, he could probably care less considering I'm a Southerner ;)
