It's just hard full stop. When I was a single mum in my early 20s it was hard, I'm now a married mum of 2 in my 40s and it's hard!
Making friends as an adult is hard anyway I think regardless of situation!
I 100% agree!! It’s really reassuring to know I’m not the only one that thinks this! I’m the only one in my little friend group that had kids and got married, so it makes it really hard to relate to them. I tried a couple of baby classes to make some mum friends but found there was always little cliques that would only talk to each other so I stopped going. I just find it so difficult to get out my comfort zone and make new friends. Makes me feel really guilty as it’s meant my 3 year old doesn’t have any friends and he’s quite shy around other children. You’re welcome to send me a message if you want to chat! X
I think it gets easier as your children get to school. I've a couple of friends now who are the mums of my children's friends. We do things with the kids and also without them 😊
I am an older mum at 40 with 3 kids and a single mum. It isn't just your age that it's difficult to find people. I struggled at every stage... When I was 25 and had my 1st and at 26 when I had my 2nd and now when I'm 40 with my 3 year old. I found I got lucky finding just 1 person I clicked with each time but as you go through the different stages like your kids getting older etc, you lose those friendships and all divide into your own lives. It's so hard x
