Does anyone else have a big friend group all with children similar ages that go away together and just hang out?
I’m so jealous of people who do! None of our friends or even siblings want children so it’s just us and our little girl. We had more friends with children when we lived abroad but expat community is a bit different.
Just saw a post on instagram of some people I went to school with just went to the coast for the weekend and there was like 10 couples and all their children all together and I was like that would be SO nice!!
I wish our friends would have babies 😭

My boy is only 2 but our main companionship is his ‘bestie’ who is a week older than him; and I’m friends with his mum of course. We live locally and met through the boys. We meet once/twice weekly.
I met a lot of mums on mat leave but lost contact with some when returning to work PT. If we bump into each other at playgroups etc, we chat.
I relate with what you say about friends not having children. My friends and I have all been in long term relationships since our teens, and my friends aren’t considering having children any time soon. My siblings don’t have children. Only lately this dawned on me and I think about it too! My LO is the first grandchild, nephew etc.
There is always time to make those friendships and I would think it comes with time as our little ones go through the school years ❤️
