Between Us Moms

This week Katie says Instagram was serving a heavy dose of #relatable facts when she scrolled past a quote about how parenting is basically making plans and praying your kid doesn't get sick and ruin it. The timing couldn't have been better given that it hit her feed the same morning that her almost-one-year-old daughter, Emma, spiked a fever, just in time for Hallie's long-awaited trip to California to meet her. The mamas had been looking forward to the bestie time for months and had lots of fun packed into the 24-hour trip. Ultimately, Hallie decided a little fever wasn't going to stop her from coming.And while Katie's Instagram feed seems to be on point, Hallie is wondering what she did to get inundated with ads on social media for a company that takes your children's baby teeth and turns it into jewelry. It's a hard no for Hallie, who has no plans of keeping her kiddos' teeth after the tooth fairy collects them. As for Katie, she admits her mom kept her baby teeth and they actually came in handy for a science experiment when she was in junior high!The ladies also talk about how often their husbands go out with friends after Katie stumbled upon a Reddit post from a woman who resents her partner for going out when she barely gets out of the house except for the occasional yoga class and therapy. Katie says Jason will have the occasional dinner with friends but is mindful to go after the girls' have gone to bed. The mom-of-two adds that this chapter is all about their core four, and the focus is on being together, so she wouldn't be down for Jason hitting the town for drinks all the time. Hallie explains that for her, it's a no-brainer to let Andrew go golfing with friends once a week in the summer, explaining that it's his hobby, it nourishes his friendships and it fills his cup. But Hallie admits she's only so supportive of his time with friends on the golf course because her husband is equally as encouraging of her finding time to be with her friends and do things that bring her joy outside of the home.But we want to hear from you! Let us know in the comments how you feel about your partner going out!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
