friends

when did you find your solid friends in motherhood? im so jealous of everyone that has their one solid mom friend & i feel so isolated and lonely with no one to talk to about my baby other than family. Im only 21 so i feel like this is a super weird stage for me.

I have a 14 month old and still dont have a solid friend. Slowly lost all my childless friends when I had my son.

@Stephanie wish u lived closer!!! I’m in PA we would probably get along hahah

Well send me a message! We can be long distance mom friends lol

I still don’t have any motherhood friends and my son is 13 months. I wonder if I’ll ever make them🤷🏼‍♀️

Motherhood can be isolating, especially at first! Most of my solid friends I knew before I became a mother. It seems like a lot of my friends became moms before I did. I was 31 when I had my first and now that I’m almost 34, I have a a few solid mom friends who I’ve known for a long time. My best friend though still does not have kids. But I recommend joining a local church with child care and a young adults group. You will likely meet some young moms with kids and get a little break from parenting while you grow closer to God and build friendships.

I had my first child in late 2019, so when I was ready to get out there with my infant, COVID hit and shut down the world. I felt utterly alone. I had friends at work who had kids and could talk with them, but not ones that my kid could hang out with. I actually found my current solid mom friend through this app. She has 2 kids right around the age of mine and we just clicked. It's hard. So. Incredibly. Hard.

I’m 24 and have a almost 14 month old. All my mom friends live at least an hour away from me so I don’t have a solid group I can meet up with regularly at all and all my childless friends slowly stopped hanging out with me so at this point it’s just trapped in the house house with a crazy baby all day long

I felt this way until I found a moms group on Facebook. That then turned into about 20 of us making a local moms group chat. We get together as a group but also small groups or one on one. Maybe see if there are mom groups in your area to joins
