Does anyone struggle with non-Mum friends?

My closest friends are those that I made at university, however a large number of them are still living the fun kid free single life.
I love my family and when I’m not working, want to spend all my time with them.

I still get invited to go out but my friends always act like I’m missing out if I say no. I don’t want to let these friendships go. It’s really hard to see some of them though while juggling a full-time job and a toddler. They are not interested coming out to see us at home should I move on?

I’ve been feeling the same I totally get it. I do have a couple of mum friends but idk why they don’t meet up as much and are fine with staying at home. The other friends are from uni and we used to be close. They are more outgoing and have no kids and some of them are not even in relationships so they always go out.
I have realised that when people are not in the same boat as you they find it really difficult to be part of your life and happy moments. Everyone’s making their own life out there and loving for themselves
I always imagined being close with my friends and visiting each other whether there are kids or not. However we’ve just grown apart. I’m waiting till we can relate to the same things and maybe then they’ll be more involved in my life. I’m trying to move past feeling sad that they’re not involved. It used to get to me a lot.

Yes - fortunately I’m of age now where more have kids than don’t and their priorities are changing too. Those who don’t I’m def not as close to anymore… Ive made peace with it largely by thinking that friendships ebb and flow. I won’t close any of doors but right now we aren’t at the same stage in life. I like to think some of them feel the same but I do worry sometimes they think I’m being difficult by not dropping everything and spending a fortune to meet them for dinner in London etc

Is it normal to crave my partners 🍆 in me but not sexually

My village is missing

This is a late night vent session obviously but l make it short. My boyfriend and I went to a basketball game in Orlando. His sister was babysitting our son. We come back tonight for her to say he slept for 6 hours and just woke up. Now what type of shit is that. I’ve been feeling lately like no one cares for me or helps out in the way I need them to. People want to see you smile but don’t try to find the cause when you’re not. I’m an only child and my mom lives far. I feel very alone even with the dad involved. I feel alone and like I’m doing it all. I can’t even imagine having another kid which I want but this life here is tough

Im a little desperate already . Im not a huge fan on blowjobs but I’m doing it because I know he likes it . If he wants it in a car, during work meeting , on the balcony, on the beach everywhere I’m okay to do that . However, I’m not getting anything in return. I mean the last time he went down was more than 1.5 years ago . Okay, I was pregnant maybe he did not feel like doing it while I had a belly as he told me . , but I’m not pregnant already for awhile and I’m always telling him that I want him to go down and he is always having an excuse like “tomorrow “ etc . At the beginning it was funny and I was like okayyy but now it’s not as I’m not enjoying our sex in general . Like the process itself does not make me finish . As I’m breastfeeding and super dry down there and I’m always telling him to put lubricant as it’s hurting me . And sometimes it feels like I am begging for that as he is more comfortable without it , but damn IM NOT OKAY without it . So basically I do not remember when was the last time I have finished during sex . I understand that now with a baby it’s hard to fully enjoy it and have enough time for everything. But still . Just kiss me and put your dick inside me does not seems sexy . To be honest I understand why in marriage women does not want to have sex . Like I feel like it’s already work that I have to do not a pleasure. I’ve been telling him that but as I can see no changes applied 🫠
