In every stage of our life we meet a lot of different people. There are some of them that go through your life unnoticed. But there are others that always have a place in your heart. There are special friends when we are young and there are other types of friends when we grow up. And some bonds that last a lifetime.

Motherhood is a very challenging time of our lives where we struggle with many things. Ask any mother and she will tell you that if she made it this far is because of those friends with children that understand how difficult it can get.

Motherhood and friendship have highs and lows. On one hand, you have the support and trust of somebody that is living the same experiences as you. She can relate to a temper tantrum or having a picky eater. She knows how many changes your body goes through and most of all she has patience to hear you out. On the other hand, there is competition. There are mothers that compare each and every single step of their child’s life with yours. You will always find those moms. Everywhere. The key is to be cautious and not let them get on your nerves.

My sons and I have developed great friendships during my years of motherhood. We all share a lot of things and we learn from each others’ experiences. MomSquawk has created so many friendships. We are from all over the world and yet we feel very close. We all share our love for our kids and most of all we feel like a very big family.

But you know what? I have not forgotten those other important friends in my life. They may not have come during this stage in my life but they sure have left a mark on my heart. They are not many but they know who they are.

Good friends are hard to find. If you found someone with whom you can pour your heart out and she still likes you, you have a great treasure on your hands. Be sure to keep in touch.
