What you noted sounds very familiar and relatable to me 🙋🏽♀️
Totally relatable! The sad part is that not even your closest friend (especially if without kids as per your/my case) understand how important connection is after you have kids! On the contrary, sometimes they complain that you "disappeared" or they just don't involve anymore in any plans as "she has kids now, she can't join anyway"... Where all it would take would be for them to say "I got your dinner covered, I am coming with a dish of baked pasta and we can chill and chat after he sleeps"...
The weird thing is NO One has kids and I am 36 which is not very young ... ...honestly feel like in an isolated island
Don't worry, you're definitely not old!! I am 40 with a 2.5 years old and yet any of my close friends has kids...
Not just you! That's why I joined the app.
Yes and no.. most of my friends are single or in relationships no kids..most of my work colleagues have babies same age as mine but whenever I try to text or meet they are busy so im not going to try anymore:/// its put me off
I’m on the younger side (26) and feel this. My two bffs are super loving towards my baby and love to hang out with us but work and life gets in the way so I don’t see them often and sometimes I get sad that they can go wherever they want like on vacations (not that I can’t with baby but money lol). With my coworkers we are mostly around the same age and I’m the only one with a baby and so I definitely feel isolated as they like to go out a lot to drink. In some ways, it’s alright but would really love to have at least one friend who really understands what it’s like.
Yes. I have one friend who has a baby 6 months older than mine and whilst I was pregnant I honestly thought we’d grow closer but I think I’ve seen her 3 times in 11.5 months and we were on maternity leave for 4 months together. None of my other friends have babies so they really don’t get it and I don’t expect them to, but I get upset when I think about it sometimes as I really needed them this year. I’m also sad I never made any new friends during baby classes and what not. I’m back at work now and everyone is at least 20 years older than me but my god they are the best women to be around and I really missed the connection
Yes, I can relate. None of my friends or fam have kids yet and we have drifted apart
Yes and no. About 80% of my friends got pregnant around the same time. It’s weird lol! But awesome because they understanding of gaps in communication…etc. Helps to have friends that are going through the same thing.
