Why It's Important To Have A Mom BF

Once you become a Mom/parent it becomes hard to navigate your social lifestyle. Your late night feedings sometime leave you feeling like a Mom zombie. Those first few months your baby is home, often leave you feeling non-social to the outside world. Your baby is then old enough to start school and you become consumed with PTO or some sort of school activities. Eventually then come the sports.

During Motherhood/parenthood there are so many transitions, difficulties, excitements, battles, surprises and news that we get to go through and share with our significant other. Although as a Mother I have learned it's also great to have the MBF which stands for a Mom Best Friend to share some of them with too.

You have probably heard of the abbreviation MBF going around. When I first heard what a Mom Best Friend is I sat and pondered for a while about the true qualities in a MBF. I also questioned what makes a MBF? Do I even have an MBF myself? I have my Mom friends that I have "Moms night out" with on occasions. You know those "days" where your thankful your not bald and you haven't been out in a couple of weeks. Or those days your earning for "real adult Mom conversation over coffee at Starbucks."

So what is a MBF? A MBF is a Best Friend who is also a Mom. Imagine it as your Best Friend you had before kids. Well now you just have kids and are both Moms now. Although it's not always simple or easy to have those special Mom friendships. The friendships take more work than they did before. They take a little more understanding than before you both had kids. A MBF should be someone who you feel you do not have to compete with. A friend you can call and just chat with about your stressful days, blah days and great days. A MBF is someone who is there for you and does not judge you as a Mom.

So why is it important to have a MBF? Well because as Moms we all need that friend to relate to, talk to, and laugh out loud with. Even if it has to be on the phone on most days because well...your both Moms and you both totally understand that. Trust me it is wonderful once you have found your MBF.
