I am losing my childhood best friend. Having a child and altering my priorities have forced our differences to the forefront. I’ve never had many friends, I always feel like I’m an awkward person. But I really would like to get out there and meet some nice new people to talk to and hang out with, who have families and can relate to my new (and improved) life. I feel really nervous about making this post, I feel like it’s going to come off desperate and weird but if I don’t try I’ll never know who’s out there.
Not at all. This app is my only social life. Sounds kinda sad but it works for me. I can talk to other mothers, relate, seek advice but not have drama. Other than my kids and SO, I keep to myself.
I lost all my friends when I had my son. And thankfully to finding a new job I found a couple new friends. It gets easier with time. Just need to surround yourself with others who know your child comes first.
Not weird at all. Becoming a parent changes things and sometimes it’s hard to relate to people who aren’t yet in that phase of life.
