Congratulations. You just shot a baby out of your lady cavity and now you have no friends. What about all those girls you used to meet out for cocktails and dancing? You will never see them again. What about your bridesmaids that threw your shower in Las Vegas? They erased you from their iPhone as soon as you told them you were pregnant. You think they really want to talk to you about how many times a day your baby craps? They don’t care about your cracked nipples. They find your nursing tops depressing. Fine. So what’s the easiest way to meet women who have a mutual interest in lactation or pureeing food? Suit up and join a mom’s group.
But understand that not all moms’ groups will be filled with your peeps. It’s like your dorm freshman year of college. Sure, you may all share the same bathroom but it doesn’t necessarily mean you want to go grab some beers. Plus, what if you kind of hate their kids? So you have to mom group shop and weed through the stacks of ladies to find your tribe.
What if as part of that journey you came across some celebrities? Which ones would you hate to have in your mom posse?
Jessica Alba – Thanks, but I am not interested in hearing how I single handedly have been ruining the earth by not having solar paneling. You know what, maybe I did buy old school light bulbs at Target. Is that so bad? And by the way, I think the Honest Company diapers and wipes blow.
Britney Spears – She’s in charge of snacks and brings the kids Cheetos and Slurpee’s from 7-11. You ask her about her philosophy on spanking and she tells you she’s a dominatrix. You worry she might slip some of her pills in the fruit punch. she can never find her kids.
Kim Kardashian – She doesn’t even show up. She sends her nanny who actually takes care of the baby. But it’s fine because how long can you maintain a conversation about eyelash extensions?
Gwyneth Paltrow – Um, I’m not interested in your green juice detox or how you bought your leather shorts at a boutique in Brussels. Is it really an effective use of time working out two hours a day? Your kids only watch TV in French and Spanish? How wonderful. My kids listen to Howard Stern and watch Homeland.
