So, I found out that some moms that I thought were friends are two faced/pretend to be nice on the surface, but then talk behind your back. I am learning as my kiddos get older that many are the "One uppers" type and like to compete etc rather than embracing the sisterhood of motherhood/being helpful. It's awkward, many even like to try and stear you in wrong directions etc just to keep you down for whatever weird reason. I am also finding that so many are sheep and follow whatever other moms do or say and apparently lost having any kind of opinion of their own. Interestingly enough, this is around the time I decided to surface the truth on finances and many other areas of my life. The good mom friends surfaced/called me and same with the not so nice ones. Now it's been hard trying to figure out who is who. However, it's still a little hurtful and I am sure I'll have to see some of these people from time to time. Then again, I guess it's like ripping off a bandaid. To a certain degree I should be greatful that life has decided to show me truths in more areas other than finance to help me get on the straight and narrow. But man, it still hurts and trying to look at the bigger picture can be difficult sometimes. Aside from investing my money in better areas, I also decided to invest my time in better friendships.
