Moms

Mom's groups terrify me.
There, I said it.  
The thought of entering any room of new people is enough to send me into heart palpitations & dizziness.  The thought of entering a room of mothers gives me nightmares & full blown anxiety attacks.
For years & years I longed to join the "mom club" & have a child of my own & I still daily marvel at the miracle of our baby girl.  I absolutely adore being a mom & when apart from Elli for more than an hour or two I feel like my arms physically ache to hold her.  So why this trepidation in connecting with other moms?  I blame the internet.
The internet is home to every crazy pants parent out there.  Do you have an unreasonably strong opinion about something?  Then by all means, flood the internet with your rantings & condemnations!  Seriously, just google the smallest, simplest parenting question, I dare you.  Or put up an opinion/question/musing on a message board or social media outlet.  Then sit back & wait for the crazies.  It won't take long, I promise.
If this is what is out there for "support" I want nothing to do with it.  At least online I can hit that beautiful red 'X' that makes it all go away (or more realistically irately rant at my computer screen).  ;)
