Anyone else found themselves in a toxic friendship group since having a baby!?
I've always thought I was just an antisocial person, I make friends easily but never manage to keep friendships alive. (I've since realised I'm neuro spicy and everything just makes sense to me now! 😂)
I've made a few friends since having my daughter and we're all part of the same friendship group..a little crew we call ourselves! For almost 2 years now I've thought it was a lovely group of ladies but now I'm wondering if I need to cut some ties and leave the group! 😬 Some mums are closer than others and some are for lack of a better expression.. up each others arses.
I'm kinda neither here nor there, I'll participate in the group chat where I can contribute and I see a couple of them for one on one play dates on occasion and when there's a group get together that I can make - I'll go!
But I absolutely cannot stand the bitching and nastiness I've encountered!
I've been told secrets that where shared in confidence, I've been gossiped to, and I've been "warned" about other mums in the group by 2 mums who have formed a very 2 faced alliance 🙄
I want to be very clear that I haven't participated in any slander! I can hand on heart say the only person I call to any of them in my MIL when I need a good rant! 😂 but I could absolutely tear down half the friendships in the group with the shit I've been told 🤦♀️ I'd like to think I haven't given any ammunition to be used against me but I can't help but be paranoid about what shit my name is being pulled into!
I just don't understand why some women never grow up!? This is proper school girl behaviour 🤦♀️🤦♀️

I vote leave. What you read, listen to, or are engaging with as part of a passive environment does have an impact on you. You don’t need the extra drama..
Thank you! You're absolutely right!
I've already distanced myself from alot of the social things.. but I feel like leaving the group chat would draw attention to myself and I'd start getting asked questions! 😬
Mute the chat?
I’d say, stay healthy. And health is not only about what food we consume, environmentally friendly cleaning products we use, good quality water we drink etc. It’s also who you surround yourself with, what talks you have, what you listen to, what books you read, what movies you watch, what people you choose to have in your life.
Declutter your surroundings.
