If we expected our friends to do that, I don't think we'd have any friends.
We might pick a friend who's nurturing, a friend over here who's inspiring, and a friend over here that we feel really safe with.
But that all in one person?
No.
A mother's job is big enough.
She's not also our friend.
If she's trying to be our friend, sometimes she's taking a shortcut.
She doesn't know really what else to do.
And she maybe had a mother that was so cold that the flip side of that is, I'm just going to be my daughter's everything.
I get it.
But it's not the same as mothering.
I think with our daughters, we don't always get back what we're putting in.
We go get that from our girlfriends, our therapists, our partners.
We don't look to our daughters to necessarily put it back in.
Wow.
Maybe the most important piece of this is how critical our friendships are.
And I think as women, too often we put our girlfriends on the back burner while we raise our kids, while we're wifing, while we're doddering.
We're going to need our friends more than anything.
And we haven't necessarily been given the skill set to prioritize our friends.
Part of that is inherited misogyny and our own internalized feelings about women.
