What can I talk to my friends about

So I’ve got amazing Gang of girl mates. We’ve known each other forever but we’re off out for some food tonight and I’m nervous.

I was the last to have a baby and he’s only 9 months old so he’s very much my life right now. I’m not back at work, baby chat is literally all I have in me. All their kids are between 5-9 years old and they are much more practiced at being out and they just have way more things happening in their lives other than just being a mum.

I know my friends don’t care but I do. The last few times I’ve met with them I’ve felt really lost in the chat, I felt like all I did was talk about bottles, feeding and bedtime routines. I left feeling really blughhh and I felt like I might have been a bit over powering because I don’t get out much or see many people while I’m still on mat leave. So when I do see people I get verbal diarrhoea and I also feel like I left not knowing anything else about the other girls, probably coz of my big off load and clearly I just dominated the conversation about my baby. Which let’s face it, is very boring.

I felt a bit embarrassed and I don’t want to do it again.

Can anyone relate or give me some tips? Other than keep my big mouth closed I don’t know what else to do 🙈

Maybe ask about their summer plans, also could be as simple as asking if they got into any good series or books.

Please someone explain psychology

I get angry at my husband when he's speaking the truth... (which of course is negative) we have been trying for over a year to conceive after a miscarriage 😞 we are getting frustrated his testosterone is fine at 700.... i honestly think I'm pmsing... im 8 DPO ny body knows by 7 if im pregnant and I get signs by 8 DPO if im pregnant or not.. im a bit discouraged myself and I wander if I am trying to stay overly positive cause the negative hurts more..... i just want to understand why I get so defensive and angry when he speaks that way....

Fruit portions

How are we prepping fruit for 2 year olds? LO is 22 months but I feel like I'm maybe too cautious with things like watermelon, mango, pineapple? I wanna slice it super thin but then she doesnt seem to enjoy it much, I think she'd rather bite down on a bigger chunk but then I'm worried of choking risks? Sorry if this sounds daft!

Weaning

My baby is 7.5 months and is not interested whatsoever. I've tried every way I can think of as well as a variety of foods. This isn't my first baby so I have done it before 😅
My little girl also still leans to the side when in her highchair/any seat so I'm not wanting to try solids yet until she can.

Am I lazy/a bad mum?
