Today I was texting with my friend who is also a first time mom. Her son is a few months older than mine. I complained that a mom/baby yoga class was scheduled at 6 pm, which is exactly at the worst time for us.
"Working moms want to spend time with their babies after work," she said. Whoa. I'm a working mom too, even though I WAH most days. I know it's not fair to compare because everyone's situation is different, but I work my butt off too!
I also feel judged by her in other ways. She EBFs and I have to supplement. We started solids at 4.5 months with our peds recommendation, she did BLW at 6 months. They cloth diaper and we don't. I feel like she's always comparing "E is so skinny, L is chubby!". They are individuals with different genetics!
I feel sad about this because she's my only mom friend. Sigh. I need to find some more friends.
