Tanya’s Midweek Crisis Letter- My Friend Always Make Me Talk to Her Kids on the Phone

Here is what this week's letter writer has to say:

"One of my best friends has two little kids, and ever since she started a family, I don't get to see her as much. So I make sure to call her a few times a month to catch up. But every time I call her, she puts her kids on the phone, and makes me talk to them instead. At first it was cute, but to be perfectly honest, I'm not calling to talk to her kids, I'm calling to talk to HER. Not to mention there are only two kinds of conversations I can really have with them.  It's either impossible to get them to say anything or they tell a long story that goes nowhere and takes forever. Should I say something to her?"

Not if you want your friendship to last! This is what I suggest....TEXT her. You could even be like "Hey I miss you and we need to catch up! Call me when the kids are in bed and we can chat!" Moms are proud of their kids and don't see things the same way as you are seeing it.
