Just want to rant haha.

I feel like a complete outsider in this state. I moved here from South Georgia with my husband, who was born and raised here. I’m also significantly younger than most of the moms with kids around my boys’ ages — honestly, even moms with toddlers are usually older than me. My oldest is 7, my youngest is 3, and I’m 23. Making mom friends has been hard. Some of that might be on me — I know I can come off as a bit of a B****, but that’s just because I’m always in go-mode. My husband is on active military orders (he is currently away and has been for sometime), I work full time, and I’m also a full-time student getting my masters in Public Health Administration. My hands are full. But even with everything I have going on, I want real friendships — people I can hang out with, with or without my boys. What gets to me is when I try to build friendships with moms who have kids my son’s age, I get looked at like I’m “less than” — like I don’t know how to mom just because of my age. And that part I really don’t understand, because I’ve been a mom just as long as they have. I’ve been on my own since I had my oldest. I worked full time, finished high school a year early, and even started college early and got my bachelors in human services. I didn’t let anyone help me until my son was two — that’s when I met my now-husband. But still, I constantly feel underestimated or judged. The second someone comments on my age and my parenting, I’m done. That’s all I need to know about how that friendship’s going to go. It sucks, because moms my age are hard to find — and ones with kids the same age as mine are even harder.
