Losing friends after becoming a parent

Nah fr I can definitely relate to this

this app really helped me make friends who can relate. not a lot of people i used to hang out with were serious about marrying young and starting a family young so i had to cut them all out eventually but my life feels a lot better now :) and i do have really close friends thanks to this app

That happened to me too. I feel like I have no friends anymore. The few I do have live out of state and we don't get to talk much. And when we do we only talk about them and their lives since they seem so uninterested in mine. 🙃

exactly!!!! uninterested is right

My bestfriend wants me to get a abortion so bad and I know it’s only out of love and concern but iddkkk I feel like I’m soo attached and I have even been to my first appointment yet

I literally joined the app today looking for a community, because even though I haven’t even had my baby yet, I already feel so alone, and I’m just dreading how much worse it’s going to get. Its exactly what you said, I feel I don’t have a person any more, that I can really open up to. I don’t get invited out, even though I’ve mentioned it before. It starts feeling lonely really quickly.

right! Also like all these people who said they couldn’t wait are nowhere to be found now 🤨

I mean I agree but also I don’t like going out my kid is an introvert’s blessing lol, I can be like “nah I got a baby” but it’s still nice to be Invited (even tho I’m not anymore) so far I’ve made a few friends after having my kid though and those people are great, they just all live hundreds of miles away lol

I haven’t had my baby yet but YES. Every friend I had before dropped me after realizing I can’t drink anymore bc I was pregnant and it made me question who my friends even were. Like i’m still me!?My true friends live far away as I moved 30+ hours away and I have never appreciated them more.

This definitely happened to me as well when I had my son. It's like all my old friends forgot about me, and then it became one sided with me always checking in on them and getting nothing in return. (except for one friend who still checks in on me from time to time via text) And then I lost my mother to cancer last year, she was truly my best friend... Now there's just one other mum I speak to from time to time but it's more of a superficial friendship as you mentioned... So I can definitely relate!

No literally it’s either they become super distant and weird or when they talk to you the ask you questions with a judgmental face or they say I’d never do that but you’re okay tho🫶🏾 like what. And the worse types are after they are done being ur friend and you post ur baby or your family they share it to other people Iike why are you being weird
