The Mommy Club

The Mommy Club is a very "exclusive" group that only allows members who meet the following criteria (and this is non-negotiable):

Must have at least one child (adopted, biological, fostered, or taken in by heart strings.)


That is the requirement and if you do not meet it you are welcome to watch as we embark on our daily activities but you are not allowed to judge, make comment, or input your "book" knowledge upon us. If you do, beware. If we have not had enough sleep our reaction may vary from ignoring you to eating you, starting with your toes.

The Mommy Club welcomes all new members with open arms and we welcome advice from lifelong members who have wisdom to share. We are always there to help each other and lift up the other members no matter what time of day or night it may be (after all we are probably up with our own kids anyway).

Mommy Club members share insights, concerns and questions with anyone who looks like they may be able to help. If you have children similar ages the doors are always open for a conversation no matter what. We do not have to personally know you to talk about breastfeeding, sex or depression. (men need not apply, the conversation will not be what you think it is anyway).

Mommies are warm, kind and loving people until someone strikes against their young. At this point mommies should not be held accountable for anything they say, do or promise to do. (these promises may even extend to your grand children's children so be careful how you cross a mommy).

Mommies are willing to share new found knowledge with anyone who will listen. Do you have a problem with poop? Well, let me tell you how to fix that! Mommies don't have filters when it comes to helping people. (no matter what)

The Mommy Club is awesome for passing things around. It is absolutely no wonder how many children will use a onesie or hat before it is too ragged to give to charity. Mommies are always willing to collect their items that the baby has grown out of and pass it on to another new mommy member. There is an unspoken rule that if you have something someone needs, you just give it away. Someone gave you things when you joined and in fair light, when new members come to the club you also hold to that rule.

The Mommy Club does not judge member for appearance. No Shirt, No Shoes, probably means No Sleep, you are still welcome. We accept people no matter how many stains are on their clothes and no matter how horrible their hair looks. You don't have to shower frequently to be a member but if you start smelling REAL bad we may offer to watch your kid while you take a shower.:-)

The Mommy Club never has meetings because let's face it, there is no time for anything like that. However, we do have open forums on public access sites to help each other get through the tough days.

This is a very exclusive club who takes it's membership very seriously and the members look ragged, worn and beaten but are ever so happy to look that way. It is a club that has lifetime membership. Once you are in, YOU CAN NEVER GET OUT NO MATTER WHAT.

You can always tell the age of the children at home based on the appearance of the member. Ponytail, sweatpants and t-shirt 0-5 year old. Hair half back, jeans and t-shirt 6-8 year old. Decent hair, makeup, and a matching outfit 9 and above. Again, there is no discrimination against the member based upon this information and at anytime a mommy can choose another level of appearance for a special occasion or digress to a previous level based upon heightened "taxi" service status. The more kids you have, the more activities they are involved in and the harder it is to dress inside your level.

If you are a soon to be member, new member or a life timer, don't forget our Mommy Creed: I will at all times do what is best for myself and my family. I will put my children in a place of honor in my life and I will do everything in my power to help them become independent and life long learners. I will encourage them when they need a lift, hug them when they need a touch, cry with them when they need a tear and ALWAYS pray for them no matter what. I am a mommy and my family is a precious gift that I have been blessed with so I will treat them as such. No matter how hard the job is, no matter how bad the pay is, no matter how little sleep I get, I am thankful that I was chosen for this job.

Just a simple shout out to the members of this club and a YAY you for making it to a new year! I love ya all!
