Feeling invisible
I knew that it’d be like this after I had a baby, I just didn’t realize it’d be this bad. I was really close with my two older brothers and their wives (who don’t have kids) until I gave birth. They came around a lot at first and checked up. Now that my babes 8 months old we only see them at our family dinners. Everyone comes up to say hello to baby without saying a word to me, unless it’s something like “can I hold her?” And it stings when they haven’t said anything the whole time to me and then they say bye to my daughter whom I’m holding in my arms. I was on the phone with my mom last night and my little brother said excitingly, “Heyyy!!” So I said hey bud. He then replied, “I wasn’t talking to you, I was talking Lyla.” Idk why it broke my heart. I’m so glad my babe gets so much attention, but it’s hard being so ignored.
We hardly get invited to anything anymore because people automatically assume that we can’t go because of our babe, and because they don’t have kids they just don’t get how hard it can be to go out.

Yeaaa honestly I’d stop going to those things. W out mommy I can’t have baby. I stopped going to places in not wanted
It happens. Everyone's so excited when you're preggo and it feels more of a transition to 2nd. It bothered me at first but I love that my family loves my kids like I do. I just do more of the "treat them how I want to be treated " and text, call, FaceTime without kids if I want to connect then we have more to talk about in person. Hope it improves for ya
