I experienced something similar when I became a mom. There were lots of people who I thought I’d be friends with forever that fell away quickly. It took me about a year but I’ve made close friends again and don’t feel lonely at anymore ❤️ don’t lose hope!
God replaced your friends with your babies, enjoy those moments and rebuild yourself. Remember, elevation requires separation. 💚💚💚
I’m here! I feel the same way. To everyone else it comes off as complaining but they simply just don’t understand. Us SAHM have to stick together!
I go pick up the kids from kinder/school early so I can chat to the other mums that are also waiting for their kids to come out of school. I’ve made some friends w a couple mums doing that. Also when they were babies I went to a lot of the baby library sessions and made friends that way too, and from Mother group. I guess you have to attend “mum” things, make opportunity open up be friendly etc. He’s had play dates since he was a baby coz I managed to make some friends from his baby classes and still see them now although I see those mums less coz kids go to different school and after school activities etc but I’ve made more at my boys’ kinder. Good luck!!
@Brianna Awww that's super cute! My husband and I are far too stubborn to apologise to each other 😂 hopefully it comes as we get older
@Kellie My issue is I have nearly 4 kids, aged 5 and under. So I tend to avoid baby groups because it's too much to do alone and they're often aimed at specific age groups, so e.g. for a 0 - 12 month group, I wouldn't be able to take my older ones along. The school run here just isn't that friendly haha I do try to chat but the other mums are already in their own little cliques and once the kids are released we all go our separate ways 🙈
Hit me up anytime 😊
