I understand that your life is full and that motherhood has transformed your world in countless ways. It’s perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed and sometimes guilty about not being able to do it all. However, please don’t let me become another source of that guilt. I value our friendship far too much for that.
I notice how you apologize when your child breaks into our conversation or when your toddler suddenly needs to use the restroom. I can see the unease on your face when your baby starts crying again, and I know you worry about whether I’m okay waiting while you attend to your little ones. You might feel bad that it takes time—sometimes even days—to respond to my messages. I get it; I’ve heard you express these concerns.
But I want you to hear me clearly: there’s no need to apologize.
Children will be children. Babies cry, toddlers have accidents, and kids are naturally noisy, especially during bedtime routines. That’s just part of life.
As your friend, I want to be involved in your life, and your children are a significant part of it. If I stood by your side during sleepovers and movie marathons, then I’m still your friend now that you’re navigating motherhood. I was there for you when we shared wine and political debates, and I’m here for you now in a new setting, perhaps your living room or the playground, where our conversations are frequently interrupted.
So, give yourself some grace. You don’t need to be perfect. It’s entirely normal for your kids to not be on their best behavior all the time. It’s okay that toys are scattered across the floor and laundry is waiting to be done. I’m happy to lend a hand with your kids or help tidy up. After all, we used to support each other through homework and moving houses, so why not do the same now? Ultimately, I may have kids myself one day, so I consider this good practice.
I never anticipated perfection from you, nor do I expect it now. I embrace the chaos in your life because I have my own—though it may not involve diapers and playdates, it’s chaos nonetheless.
I genuinely care about you and what matters to you, even if our priorities differ. Let’s continue to walk through this journey of life together, no matter how it looks at any given moment.
So, my dear friend, you don’t owe me an apology. Instead, let’s check in on one another and share updates about our lives, even if those updates are frequently interrupted by your little ones.
With love,
Your Childless Friend
