I am 26 and the mother of a little girl who will be six months old next week.  People keep telling me that I need to start doing something for myself or I am going to go crazy or crazier anyway.  Well this is my shot at something for me something where I can share my thought which I do so much better on paper or computer as it may be than in person.  Today I read an article a high school classmate of mine shared on facebook.  It was an article on whether or not to let your children go trick-or-treating and I always find these arguments so interesting so I read it.  The article was so much more the whole point of the article is that it shouldn't matter.  I agree as mothers (even I am guilty sometimes) we spend so much time judging each other for our choices that we do not keep the important things in mind.  What is really important is that for the most part we all love our children just the same and we are all trying as hard as we can to make what we feel like are the best decisions for our family.  As soon as people find out that you are pregnant they can be so critical.  They judge you based on how much weight you gain then after the baby gets here on whether you decide to breastfeed your baby or not, where they sleep, and even when you try to introduce solid foods.  And lets just be honest none of it is ever right.  Then I got to thinking about how wonderful it would be if  as a group we could try to stop judging each other for the choices we make and start supporting each other because lets face it we could all use a little more of that.  I personally would love it if I could have a group of mommy friends.  I have never been one to have many close friends but most people don't and right now I am at a point in my life where I am the only one of my friends with a baby.  That means that as much as we love each other we don't have nearly as much in common right now which doesn't mean that I don't want them as my friends anymore I just wish that I had a small group of other moms of a similar age to compare notes with after all this is now the best and most prominent aspect of my life.  No one understands you better than someone who is going through these major life events right there with you.  Everyone says that it comes with time as your children go through school but we shall see.  Motherhood is the greatest gift and the greatest challenge that there is.  It is the only thing that I have ever known I have wanted to do for my whole life and I love it more than I could even express, but that does not mean that it does not have its challenges.
