Sorry, Venting Again..
Posted: 04-05-07 16:56pm

Apparently no-one wants to be friends with me anymore. I used to have two really close friends, one guy and one girl.

I found out the guy likes me and avoids talking to me because he hates the idea of me having a boyfriend.

The girl.. well I don't know what happened there. I guess she moved on.. she has so many good friends and she drives all over the place going to see them every day of the week. I think the fact that I have .Jenny has become a real issue with her.. I can't do "cool" things anymore, like stay out til 3am in some random guy's house drinking vodka straight outta the bottle like I did when I was 16. She hasn't grown up, and I have.. and it's hard, because now I don't have anyone. I don't have any friends who are mums, and I don't go to baby groups or anything because all the other mothers are in their 20s and 30s. I get looked down upon like some irresponsible promiscuous person.

I know, I know.. I'm going to get told "welcome to motherhood, you don't get to party anymore".. but that's not what I wanna do. I want to have a few friends round and just chat, or go to the beach or something with .Jenny and have an ice cream. I didn't think that was asking a lot of anyone.. but I guess I was wrong.

I wish you guys didn't live so far away =(

I'm sorry you feel like that. Can I ask how old you are? I had my daughter when I was 17. I lost all but one of my friends, they were all doing their own things, partying, going out, getting drunk. Even after I had her they wanted nothing to do with me because my ex-husband alienated all of my friends. It's hard, I still have a hard time making friends and I'm not that old, I'll be 21 this month and I'm pregnant with baby #2. I know it's hard, but things eventually get better. Just wait until they have kids, then they'll know. It happened to my best friend, know she understands how I felt when I had my daughter. I'm here to talk if you want to.

You're welcome. I know how hard it can be. Even though I am no longer with my husband and have someone else in my life now and we're having a child, the friends I use to have are for the most part non-existant in my life. Even the ones that I made after I had her. It's the sad part of life I guess. I hope things start looking up for you soon. Are you a single mother or is the father helping out? I am now raising my daughter alone and it's hard, but I'm surviving.

I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Are there any mommy groups around that maybe you can meet new people at and make new friends? Somehow through Facebook.com a bunch of girls with kids in my area found each other and now we have monthly get togethers and such. Its great to get out and meet new people with kids that way you have someone to relate to about parenting things and the kids can play together. So try looking for groups in your area or something! And if all else fails the ehealth girls are always here for you!

Zanny I know where you're coming from with the friend thing. People change when you have a baby or maybe you change when you have a baby. Probably it's a bit of both. My so-called best friend keeps standing me up for things lately and we used to talk to each other every day but we might talk once or twice a month now. Stupid heiffer. She started getting weird while I was pregnant but we still talked and hung out but once i had the baby it was like poof...she's gone! Rolling Eyes If she ever has a baby then she'll finally understand but by that point I definitely won't want to deal with her.

I know how you feel with the friends thing. I still talk to some of my friends online but when it comes to hanging out with me forget it. It really sucks Crying
