Moms: Let’s Be Friends – 10 Things You Should Say To Other Moms

I feel SUPER lucky! I get to spend every day of my life, communicating with other women. Whether I see you in person or we are Social Media friends – I love getting to know YOU!

Something I love about being a part of the this club… this group… this TEAM of MOMS, is that we each are so different, yet we all can come together and share our experiences, trials, adventures, achievements and joys with each other.

Gossiping is HUGE in the women culture and society. It’s true that we like to be “in the know” on everyone’s lives. I am the first to admit I LOVE to hear what people are up to and what is going on in other families. I am super social and love to visit with other women.

So often we find ourselves comparing and wanting to be the best, especially in these social settings. Thinking our way is the only way. I am not a mom expert whatsoever, so I love to turn to YOU, REAL moms in REAL life to share your stories of motherhood with the world.

With that being said, I sometimes hear of moms bickering. Sometimes I hear of moms putting each other down. Sometimes I hear of moms thinking their kids are better than the others. So today I want to say to women everyone, “LET’S BE FRIENDS!”

I have put together a list of 10 Things You Should Say To Other Moms. Instead of putting their ideas or parenting skills down – maybe we can think twice and come up with something uplifting to say to them to let them know they are doing a good job.

1. YOU ARE A GREAT MOM – Everyone wants to hear that they are doing a good job.

2. YOUR KIDS ARE SO WELL BEHAVED – If you see children obeying in the grocery store and being kind to others at the park – let their mom know you noticed.

3. I CAN TELL THEY LOVE YOU VERY MUCH – Some children are really close their moms and have a hard time leaving them. Let their mom know that, that is okay.

4. YOU LOOK SO GOOD – After having a baby, bodies change a LOT. It is always good to hear that someone thinks you look good!

5. YOUR KIDS ARE ALWAYS DRESSED SO WELL – Tell you friends how cute their kids are! Every mom wants to hear how adorable their children are {even though they already know!}.

6. YOU ARE SUCH A GOOD EXAMPLE – Tell that mom that you look up to, that you think they are awesome and you love all of their advice!

7. I WISH I WAS MORE LIKE YOU – If you see a mom that is patient, tell her you want to be more patient like her. If you see a mom that is fun with her kids, tell her you want to be more fun like her. If you see a mom that handles a tantrum really well, tell her you want to be able to handle a tantrum like her.

8. YOU HANDLED THAT REALLY WELL – We all have those moments in public where we think to ourselves, “Is this REALLY happening?!” Let that mom know they did a great job handling a situation that you witnessed.

9. I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT ALL – When you see a mom juggling a baby, 2 toddlers, pushing a shopping cart and trying to control all three of them from crying, don’t be afraid to tell them how amazed you are. Moms are the best multi-taskers!

10. YOUR KIDS ARE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU AS A MOM – Let every mom know, who is trying their hardest, how lucky their kids are to have a mom like them.

It’s really amazing how just one sentence can brighten someones day! Just by saying how grateful you are for their example or what a great job they are doing as a mom, can change someone’s perspective on their whole day…week… or even their whole mothering experience.

I want you to share with us a mom that you LOVE! A mom that you look up to and think is doing a great job! Tell me what your favorite thing about her is. I hope to have a whole collection of the best Mother Attributes by the end of it! You can share your thoughts in the comments below, on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.

I know that as we come together we can feel better about holding the role as a mom. We ARE in this together. We ARE a club, a group and even a TEAM. So join me and LET’S BE FRIENDS!
