When I became a mother nearly four years ago, I discovered very few organised spaces in which to properly connect with other parents about our common experience. I say very few, but I must extol and recommend La Leche League and their incredibly supportive groups for mothers when it comes to breastfeeding and beyond. I have found that most other activities, however, centre around entertainment for the little ones, and it is all too easy to attend and leave without interacting in any meaningful way with the other adults in the room. In this way, the days can seem varied and interesting - even frenzied - for our children, but not so much for us. And isn’t our wellbeing crucial if we parents are to discharge our sacred job well?
