This is Why Girls Don't Need a Best Friend

I don't want my daughter to have a best friend.

​There. I said it.

It's horrible, I know. Who doesn't want their child to have a best friend? What kind of mother am I? You're probably wondering what else I want to rob from my kid's childhood. Collecting seashells at the beach? Eating watermelon and catching fireflies in the summer? Making cookies at Christmas? 

But before you judge, let me explain.
 
This week I've over at Scary Mommy talking about strong female friendships and why girls don't need a best friend.

And, in case you missed it, last week I was over at BLUNTmoms talking about food allergies.

​Ah, adventures in parenting! ​
