In Appreciation Of Non-Mom Friends

Posted by Daphne on Friday, August 8th, 2008

Yes, mom friends are great, but sometimes it's great to hang with the childless set.

Let's hear it for the non-mom friends.

Thank you for being available to go out for dinner.

Thank you for having time and disposable income.

Thank you for giving me a chance to not talk about kids.

Thank you for still having casual sex and new romances and giving me all the details.

Thank you for the lousy internet-dating stories, reminding me how glad I am to be married.

Thank you for not being too exhausted to do anything.

Thank you for even letting me know there was a lecture, concert, exhibit, I should go to.

Thanks for still taking an interest in my kid when I do bring her up.

I can only look at so many pictures of dogs, but other than that, you've all been great friends.

    …and thanks to all the Mom-Friends of my girl Kristen who take the time to comment on the daily photos of me on my dog-blog! ~ Roxie Heart (Kristen's dog).

    Thank you! It is a testament to how fun and well-written (spoken?) your blog is that I am a non-mom who checks back every day (sometimes twice) to see what is new. Thank you for making us non-Moms feel appreciated!

    Oh I love the friends that are always up for anything! And when they pick up the phone, there's not a wailing or whining kid on the other end. In fact, all I hear are clinking wine glasses as they sit down for appetizers and tell me to head on over for a drink. And then all I can hear is myself saying bye to the kids and husband…

    LOVE those non-mom friends!
