But accept that they’ll flake often
While you must be extremely reliable for your mom friend, you must accept that she can’t be. If one of her kids gets sick, if the babysitter gets sick, if a kid’s entire school gets sent home because one has lice, if a child swallows a marble and has to go to the hospital, if a kid gets suspended…your mom friend has to cancel. You can’t say a word. It’s not her fault. She can’t just get lunch with you when her kid is in the emergency room. If you make plans with a mom friend, make sure the entire plan doesn’t 100 percent rely on her being there. Because you can’t 100 percent rely on that. She feels bad enough as it is so, you can’t really say anything.
