Ever have one of your non-mommy friends tell you to stop talking about your kids? No, probably not. But that doesn't mean they aren't thinking it every time you talk about your kid, which is 24/7.
As parents we love our children dearly but sometimes we just can't wait for that little bit of time we get to escape from them and are able to hang out with friends. But what good is it to get away from your kids if you don't stop talking about them?? You know that rule that says when you and hubby get time away from the kids you shouldn't talk about the kids? Well that rule applies to girl time too!
To stay sane and to keep your friends from wanting to kill you, you sometimes need to put the mommy chatter on hold and talk to your friends like the big girl you are. If you get rid of the mommy chatter and you can't think of anything to talk about, then you have a bigger problem!
I'm a stay at home mom and I love my kids, but they are not the only things happening in my life. And I'm sure your kids are not the only thing happening in your life either, right? So why should they be the only thing you talk about? I think that there should be a rule when women get together without the kids that you only talk about your kids for a few minutes. That's just enough time to get out what you need to about your kids and then you can move on to other topics so you don't end up repeating your mommy chatter each time! Remember, there was a time when you didn't have kids and could have conversations with other women, so try to remember what you talked about before.
Very true I catch myself doing that sometimes Im not really around girls much except my friend Mia but she comes over my house all the time so I don't about them really to her but she has to deal with being around them so it's just as bad lol but I don't ever really have girl time lol when I do I rather not talk about them becuz I'm around them so much I just want me time
