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.
