everyone I know that's expecting is having baby shower part from me and the main reason I'm not is because I've got no one 2 invite and it's not like they'd turn up anyways 😔
Big hugs Hun, u have all of us and most importantly your baby, u will make new friends in baby classes who r like minds and who u can chat to, I'm looking forward to meeting new mummy's when baby is born :) xxx
Only reason I'm gutted about not having one is the cake. Can't believe I'll be missing out on that opportunity 😂 oh said to just buy one anyway 🙈 xx
I'm not having one I don't see the point in them tbh, just a way to get free gifts lol. The people that care will more than likely buy the baby something when they are born x
I'm not having a baby shower, didn't want one either. Hate being the centre of attention.
Don't let it get you down hun, I don't see many friends, most of them all have children already, I'm one of the last to be having a baby. We sometimes speak on Facebook, but its rare. We just all have different lives to lead and priorities to deal with. Is just life x
My MIL is the complete opposite, this is the only grandchild she doesn't care about (she has 14 others) she's just not bothered in the slightest and I don't have the energy to entertain her lol xx
I'm the same @mummy661 I had one with my others but hardly anyone came so don't think I'll bother this time most of my friends don't bother with me and my OH works away a lot on the railway so can get pretty lonely
Just because people aren't hanging out with you in the same way anymore and are getting on with their lives /doing things that they want to do. It doesn't mean that they're not your friend. Some of my best friends I barely see because they don't have children. They have busy jobs, they do go out at the weekends and drink and have more freedom than me etc. They know I can't just have a night out etc.but we're still really good friends. We still talk occasionally and when we do get together it's like we've never been apart. just because we're not always hanging out it doesn't mean we don't love each other. its just part of becoming an adult. you get other priorities and that's normal.
@mummy661, Aww hun I know what that's like, it can be very lonely being a mum. I'm a sahm and my partner works full time so I get very lonely too. When you're the first one in your friend group to have a baby, your friends drift away because you have different priorities. Don't let it get you down! Feel free to message me anytime xx
Yea that's so true @briony1994 his family have been great like his mum's bit much but he's told her 2 back off bit so
If they don't make the effort then don't worry about it Hun, not worth it, I've cut a lot of people off recently including my OHs family as I haven't got the energy to be dealing with them xxx
I know like but like @briony1994 said if they wanted be in my life they'd make effort but clearly they don't @winterbaby95
@mummy661 Awe no hun :( My friends drank and some smoked and I never joined in.... You can have fun without drinking or getting high off your head! Silly! You are right...its not the end of the world! xx
I had a baby shower Hun and hardly any one turned up, it just goes to show who really cares and who doesn't, just concentrate on your little one and if people want to be in your life they will make the effort, if not its there loss xxx
Well way I c it its they loss init not mine like jus coz I not drinking anymore coz pregnant it's not end world but they seem think it is which is pretty sad @winterbaby95
@mummy661 Sorry to hear that hun :) Think it happens to every woman...I'm the only one out of my close friends that has a baby.... I haven't really spoken to my friends at all since becoming pregnant :) My best friend from school visited me when my daughter was 2 months old :) But my friends are all busy with work..Uni etc.. :) Xx
Yea true enough @princesshannah1986
