Are Your Friendships Affected by Your Children?
A bit of fear creeps in when I am introducing my kids to my friends for the first time. I hope that my babes will adore my buddies (and vice versa), but there's no guarantee. I have experienced the awkward moment when my daughter wigged out as my girlfriend tried to hold her.
Were You Pregnant With a Friend?
Pregnancy is exciting for any mama-to-be, but add a friend with a burgeoning belly and it's nine months of fun! Having a partner in crime when it comes to hitting up baby boutiques and deciding on the best stroller can make the expectant stage pure bliss. Were you pregnant at the same time as any of your friends?
Allow Your Kid to Go on Playdate If You Don't Know the Parent?
These days mamas are known for being overprotective, which made way for the term, "helicopter mom" but when it comes to your children playing at their friends' houses, do you allow your youngsters to go over if you don't know the parents?

Allow Your Kid to Go on Playdate If You Don't Know the Parent?
Yes — I trust my child's judgment in friends.
Family Ties: Letting Kids Figure It Out
My kids get along fabulously most of the time. They are at ages where they enjoy each other's company whether they are on outings or playing around the house. They delight in the bizarre games they create feeding off one another's ideas, sharing belly laughs and cracking each other up.
Mommy Dearest: Uncensored Friends
Mommy Dearest,
My friends love my daughter, and she can't get enough of their stories. The problem is that these single women aren't used to telling the abridged versions of their weekend tales, many of which are not appropriate for a 6-year-old's ears. I don't want to censor them, but I also don't want them talking about "hooking up" or their weight issues in her presence.
Mommy Dearest: Footing the Bill For Friends?
Mommy Dearest,
Our six-year-old son loves to play with a little girl his age in our neighborhood. Since both of her parents work, the children usually hang out at our house and she regularly goes on outings with us.
She's a well behaved, lovely girl so my husband and I are happy to have her join in on our family fun.
Who Are Your Children's Godparents?
Godparents are usually different from guardians in that the godparents are often the best friends or closest family members of the parents.
While guardians are entrusted to raise the child if something happens to the parents, godparents have the fun job of showing up at birthday parties and giving special gifts.

Mom-Me Time: Phone Your Friends
A mom can catch a break without enlisting the help of her partner or a babysitter — all she needs is the phone. Whether you miss your friends or crave adult conversation, you can have both in the comfort of a pair of sweats on your couch.
Blow off the dishes and let the laundry pile up.
Notes From the Underbelly: Just Not Into Kids
It seems like everyone has at least one friend that just isn't into kids. I do. They always have something nice to say about my babe, "cute outfit" or something else that isn't too endearing.

Were Your Friends Jealous Over Baby?
Ask any mom, and she'll tell you: life changes drastically with the birth of a baby. Nights out at the bars are put on hold indefinitely, and friendships often take a backseat to parenting. It's not that friends lose their value; it's that parents have a fuller schedule and more responsibilities, which leads to less "hang" time with their buds.
