Mom Types

Something I miss pre-covid is the groups I participated in, like the babywearing group and La Leche League. I feel fortunate that I had those support groups with my first kids. I feel bad for moms now who are pushed to a more isolated, individualistic life. 

With my 3rd baby I've gone to the library baby group. I was surprised by how many moms are there during the day. It's kids focused so I don't get the sense that the main focus is mom support. 

Jose said something funny to me that made me reflect on my type of and made me truly feel known by my partner. 

I mentioned to him how there are so many moms with their iced coffees, sitting around chatting while their kids play. I told him that's not my style, being a part of the iced coffee, SAHM, click. I told him I'm looking for the cloth diapering moms who have a boob out,  nursing their baby. He said, "all the free bleeders". It cracked me up, because yes, let's talk about birth, bleeding, and nature.
