Hello, Moms!
How are you doing today? Can I offer you a drink?
As someone who is not a mother—yet—I’m here to share some observations that might resonate with you. I’m not here to fuel any rivalry between moms and non-moms; I simply wish to express my perspective. So, here are five things I believe every mom should know about me.
1. I Don’t Dislike Your Children
Honestly, I don’t harbor any ill feelings toward your kids. Sure, there are moments—like when a child in a store decides to create chaos—that test my patience. However, in general, I find kids to be quite entertaining. Their candid remarks can be hilarious, and I appreciate the joy they bring into the world.
2. I Enjoy Spending Time with Kids
I’m not saying I want to be around children all the time, but I do think they can be quite delightful. Whether it’s a toddler proudly displaying their “big kid” underwear or a preschooler sharing their imaginative stories, I find joy in their innocence. While I might not allow a free-for-all at your home, at mine, it’s all about fun and laughter. I’m perfectly fine returning a sugar-high child to you—Aunt Lucy (that’s what my niece calls me) definitely knows how to have a good time!
3. My Dog is Not a Substitute for a Child
Yes, I have a dog whom I adore and pamper. I love sharing pictures and stories about him. However, please don’t think I equate my dog with your child. I recognize that your child is a human being who needs guidance and nurturing, while my dog is—well—a dog. They’re not comparable, and I wouldn’t want to insult anyone by suggesting otherwise.
4. I Want to Foster Friendship
I’ve heard that many moms feel abandoned by friends once they have children. If that’s true, perhaps those friendships weren’t as strong as they could have been. Most of my friends who are moms, like Sarah, I met after they had kids. I value friendship based on connection, not parenting status. If I inadvertently suggest a lunch during nap time, please don’t dismiss me outright. Just let me know your preferences; I’m adaptable and genuinely enjoy your company.
5. I’m Intimidated by Infants
It’s true: I find your baby a bit daunting. Until they can sit up independently, I’m hesitant to hold them. It’s not that I dislike babies; rather, the thought of holding something so small and delicate fills me with a sense of responsibility. The anxiety over their fragility is overwhelming, so I prefer to admire your little one from a safe distance until they grow a bit stronger.
While I could continue on this topic, five feels like a good number. So, how about that drink? It seems like you could use a cup of coffee, and I’m happy to treat you.

In summary, while I may not be a mom, I appreciate the joys and challenges of parenting. I value friendship, enjoy children, and am eager to connect in a meaningful way.
