After a long silence, Betamom finds herself in the Snack Yurt, (yes, I said yurt) at an innertubing park. People are starting to come off the mountain and they keep opening the door and it is getting colder and colder.
We are in the mountain town, ski resort of your choice. We came here to get away from it all. Most of Los Angeles came too.
"But Betamom," you ask, "how is it a getaway if all the alphafamilies came too?"
The answer is simple, ladies - just ignore them. Don't stay where they stay. They will think you are vacation with them.
Don't make plans - not even fake plans that you mean to cancel later. The alphamoms are all ramped up on vacation, because to them, it tests the friendship. How close are we? Are we more than just Starbucks friends? Are our kids friends? Are our husbands friends? This is what it boils down to - does your whole family like my whole family the best?
The answer is always no.
