So i moved from Europe to America to be with my husband and after that i had my baby 7 months ago, all of my friends were so excited for me and gave me an impression that they are so excited to become “aunties”. First couple of months most of them talked about coming to visit me and see the baby, and obviously they still haven’t made any plans on coming. And it’s so hard to make friends in a new country, especially now as a mom… guess I just feel so hurt because I wouldn’t have done that to them. But I know I can’t expect me in other people. It’s been really lonely, and despite me saying this they keep saying they will come but I know they won’t. I also don’t have any siblings, my mom is on the older side and she can’t travel back and forth like that, and my dad passed away few years ago.
Anyways thank you to whoever took their time to read this and have my moment 🥹

I feel really related 🫠 my family can't come here, friends also living their lifes but I completely understand this and was ready for "lonely life" in the US, moved here for my husband like almost 3 years ago still didn't make any moms friends so it's just me, baby and husband mostly, he doesn't have big family. Feel free to message me if you wanna venting 😊

If it helps, my own family who live an hr away dont even make the effort to see my son. Hes 10months and they've maybe seen him 5 times. They come to my town for drs appointments for themselves and its literally a 3min drive from my house and they wont come see him. My best friend on the other hand had started a new job when I had my son so she couldnt and they have a no call out policy and dont allow vacation times unless its a medical emergency. Shes currently looking for a new job but we video chat and talk all day so my son does know who she is. She just cant get the time off to see him because she does live a few states away. Having kids makes you realize who is truly on your side
