Meeting up with other new moms, with moms in general, with parents in general, can be a tricky thing. Everyone has the best of intentions, and everyone wants to help--but never have I received so much unsolicited advice, and never have I been less receptive to unsolicited advice. Also, never have I had less energy in my adult life, and meeting up with other parents who have already bought the perfect playpen, safety-proofed their house, bought life insurance, done this and done that for their child--reminds me of how much I need to do, right now, without delay...panic sets in when I think like this for too long...so I have to try not to.
And few things are harder than to stop thinking a certain way.
