Feeling sad - baby friends
I said how I was going to take my little one to a little park nearby at a certain time, as before there had been a nice range of ages playing there. My partner commented that he was sad our 1 year old didn't have any friends to play with. Now our 1 year old has 3 main different friends but can't see them all the time due to the other mum's going back to work and fitting it in. I know I'm not the best socially myself, but I've been really trying. I just don't know what to do. Even when I've spoken to or met people on here, they just stop talking/disappear. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm taking them to different baby classes but I feel like everyone knows each other and stays on their pairs or groups, and I feel like an outsider looking in, wishing that was me. Don't really know what I'm expecting from this, just feeling upset as I'm trying my best and just getting nowhere.
Searching for My Mom Tribe
I never thought I’d say this, but I feel like I’m back in elementary school—struggling to make friends.
Since becoming a mom, I’ve slowly lost touch with many of the friends I used to have. Life got busy, priorities changed, and somewhere along the way I realized I don’t really have anyone to talk to or share the ups and downs of motherhood with. Some days it feels pretty lonely.
Are there any mom groups out there, or any moms looking to make genuine friendships? I’d love to connect with people who understand this stage of life. ❤️
