Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!
My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.
One friend has big house, career and boyfriend
Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc
Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.
Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.
They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.
I don’t know I feel sad about it.
Am I over reacting?

You aren't overreacting. I'm 36, had my LO almost 9 months ago. My oldest and best friend, known each other since I was 18, never once checked in on me (visit/call/text) when I was pregnant. O she congratulated me on FB when I announced I was pregnant and when I had given birth. But she's never seen her. Never asked how I am. So snip snip, off she can f**k. I am going to meet up with her and find out what the issue is, I need closure.
Message them, and ask them to come over, either together or individually so you can talk and tell them how you feel and find out why.

I’m still in touch with my friends who have kids, but I've drifted apart from those who don't. I guess it’s because our lifestyles are so different now, but it still makes me sad. I think that’s why people try to make new 'mom friends' who can really relate.

This is hard. It's such a shame to drift apart. Have you messaged them to ask how they are and what they're up to? Could you invite them round for a cuppa/ picnic in a park/ coffee/ walk etc. It is difficult when your life has changed so much, and until you go through motherhood yourself I don't think others can truly relate or know how isolating it can be.
