13/365: Bonding

It is always great when you find someone that you can talk to with easy and bond with, but for a woman it is double special. When you can find another woman that has had some of the same life experiences you have had. For example, I have a friend that has adopted two children, like me. So when something about adoption comes up and I need advice she is the first person I want to talk to. We are members of a few mommy groups, which is wonderful because there are many different moms. Some have adopted, some have done IVF, and some had them the "old-fashion" way. I have had two miscarriages in my life and it is always helpful to know that there are other women that have gone though that too. It is also helpful to other moms that may go though this kind of stuff in the future to know that there is always someone to talk to. And its not just the "hard" stuff that we bond over, it could be as simple as a first time mom calling another experienced mom about want to do about the first time her baby gets a fever. We as women have stopped calling our moms for advice and started calling our friends, which is a big help to our poor mothers. We also bond over the simple fact that we are all moms and that alone is a wonderful reason.
Goodnight all; See ya'll tomorrow
