To my wise, patient, and supportive friends who took the plunge into motherhood ahead of me:
I apologize for ever expressing how “exhausted” I felt in your company; I now understand the true depth of fatigue.
I regret gifting you that book on crafting homemade organic baby food. My sincerest apologies.
I’m sorry for thinking it was a good idea for my partner and me to visit you just days before your baby arrived. What was I thinking?
I apologize for calling you in tears over my single life challenges when you were managing babies, toddlers, and husbands requiring your attention around the clock. I realize now that attempting to have a phone conversation amidst the chaos of small children is a daunting task, and I truly appreciate your patience.
I’m sorry for not recognizing the impact of sleep deprivation on your attention span. I should have sat quietly beside you, offering to rub your feet instead.
I regret not bringing you meals or helping with chores such as washing dishes, taking out the trash, or folding laundry. I still recall the day you prepared lunch for me while simultaneously caring for your toddler and baking a cake—how did you manage that?
I wish I had visited you more often. We could have relaxed in our pajamas watching TV once the kids were asleep. Why did I think you would prefer meeting in a bustling downtown for drinks?
I apologize for my moments of baby envy and how they interfered with my ability to fully support you.
I am sorry for my ignorance regarding your children’s feeding and nap schedules.
Thank you for your unwavering support during my self-centered phases while you dealt with the demands of motherhood, including diaper changes and calming fussy babies. I failed to recognize your incredible efforts, and I should have expressed how fantastic you were doing every single day.
I am genuinely grateful to still have you in my life.

In summary, I reflect on my past misunderstandings and extend my gratitude for your friendship and guidance throughout our journeys into motherhood.
Keyphrase: friendship and motherhood
