First Mom in the WhatsApp Group: Diapers, Drama & Lost Friendships
Thirteen years ago, Ariba Mobin took the plunge and tied the knot, becoming the first in her circle to do soānot for bragging rights, but for the mild panic that started simmering as she left the glory days of solo Netflix binges for diaper duty and joint family chaos. Her son showed up ten months later, promptly hijacking her nightlife with teething and breakdowns. Meanwhile, her friends traveled, studied, and held weddings she sometimes only tolerated via Facebook feeding her FOMO when she missed their celebrations due to sick babies. Over time, her WhatsApp group transformed from reminiscing college parties to swapping postnatal gripes and in-law drama, turning her into their reluctant go-to guru on 'how to survive no sleep without becoming passive-aggressive.' Ariba learned the most brutal lesson: delivering advice is a delicate snark assault that demands kindness, patience, and a knowing wink that no one really knows what they're doing.

Being first to marry and spawn kids means sacrificing wild nights for diaper mitzvahs while watching your friends party like it's 1999 on Facebook. Reminder: parenthood is less a walk in the park, more a controlled crash into chaos with zero pit stops.
Congrats, youāve entered parenthood and simultaneously earned a PhD in unsolicited advice for friends far too polite to say youāre winging it.
Nothing like parenting first in your crew to feel like an ambassador to Saturn while everyone else chill on Earthāfeeding your soul one sleep-deprived meltdown at a time.
