And I can never manage to muster up sympathy for any of my friends with pregnancy pains, childbirth pains, child-rearing pains, etc. Sorry, I don't care how many times your baby shits itself. I would trade anything for a shitting baby right now.The Cornfed Feministhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049764462275577386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125165466190100857.post-89802139918106858692012-01-17T22:16:13.430-08:002012-01-17T22:16:13.430-08:00Good for you!

Those times are tough, but you should be proud of yourself for being such a supportive friend. :) I hope we both get to experience all those things you listed, and I plan on complaining with the best of them!

Those cracked nipples cost me a bundle! ;)Laniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494973592822062878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125165466190100857.post-90588320428710908942012-01-17T20:30:44.967-08:002012-01-17T20:30:44.967-08:00It's so hard to be supportive of someone when ...It's so hard to be supportive of someone when they have something that you want so badly. It's hard to say anything, though, as it's almost like a cultural right for a new mother to complain about her loss of freedom. I tend to tune them out, changing the subject regularly back to the baby. By focusing on my time with the baby, I find that the visit is a whole lot easier.<br /><br />Going to visit your friend took a lot of strength and selflessness. You're a true friend. And because of that act, you've demonstrated yet again why you'll be an awesome mother one day very soon.Cristyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04317873211902543387noreply@blogger.com
