I've lost touch with many.
I never had friends to begin with, honestly.. 😭
Top 2. I actually like meeting up. Lol. So we meet up a lot. I’ve been chatting to a peanut mum just a week and we’ve been on 2 1hr FaceTime calls and we’re gonna meet soon hopefully next week.
my two best friends and i have a standing monday hang that we let the babies play (two girls a month apart) and we hang out like we used to before the girls. the friends i wasn’t as close with but became closer as the months have passed (some have babysat for me, others have kids around the same age, boyfriends are friends, etc) we have a monthly get together with everyone who can make it and someone cooks, and we all drink (or don’t) and just hang out and play games and whatnot
A) & B). We chat/share memes online, and have monthly catch ups.
I talk every day (Monday-Friday) to my besties who live states away from me. We (3 of us) are childhood friends. One moved to North Carolina the other to Virginia. We all have children. Two of us stay at home while the other works full time. In between all that We FaceTime and call all the time because it’s not a task, we enjoy shit talking. Once a year we meet in Virginia as one of them lives on a 100+ acres of farm land mainly raising wagyu cows. We bring the children, dogs and husbands and make it a family reunion. We didn’t go last year because she was Heavily pregnant and it would be too chaotic with lots of little boys and dogs. I do wish we could see each other more, but it’s hard now that we all have children, work and vastly different schedules.
