Most of us have a friend since childhood - a friend who has been there since the start - but there is nothing quite like having someone around who knows all too well the trials and tribulations of motherhood.
Here are ten reasons you need a mum BFF:
1. So you have someone to give out about the kids to
Your child-free friends just won’t understand the complicated situation!
2. They’ll know exactly why you have baby poo on your shirt
It gets everywhere!
3. They understand your reasons for being late
They’ll no doubt be running through the door just as you arrive – 30 minutes after you were actually meant to meet.
4. They’ll rejoice with you the day your little one uses the toilet
Nobody else will...
5. You need someone to moan about your swollen feet to
While the rest of your friends moan that their heels are too high.
6. They won’t get annoyed when you gush about your kids
Only because it means they can do the same to you...
7. You’ll have someone to hang in the jungle gym with
It’s just not as appealing if you don’t have kids.
8. They’ll remember your child’s birthday
Usually because they have been invited to the party...
9. You can discuss giving birth in all its gory details
They’ve got their been there done that hat on!
10. You don’t need to pretend to be the perfect mum in front of them
They know all the tricks!
