Scenario

When new parent friend groups become performative instead of supportive

Our mom friends group used to be so supportive during pregnancy but now that we all have babies everything feels performative and judgmental. Nobody talks about how hard it really is and I'm starting to dread our meetups even though I desperately need adult connection.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The pressure to appear competent as a new mother is preventing authentic connection precisely when vulnerability and support are most needed.
