How do I begin to start making friends again?

It’s so so crazy how my social life has flipped from when I announced I was pregnant. I am the only one that has a baby so far in the small circle I had. No one checks in, even when I try myself. I feel like my “friends” are just sick and tired of hearing about my son. My son is the best thing that ever happened to me. He is the absolute centre of my world and I don’t get up to anything anymore other than being a mum because everyone has just checked out and moved on. How the heck do I start anew? I have to really really hype myself up to even post this 🤣
Advice is more than welcome I need help lols💜

I’m in pretty much the same boat, but I at least know most of my friends are neurodivergent and aren’t not checking in on purpose. Object permanence is 100% a thing and I have to make EFFORT to remember these people exist, even my nearest and dearest. I know it sounds bizarre but it’s a thing.

I plan on tackling it by finding likeminded moms in my particular niche. My niche is very unusual and there aren’t any centralized places moms in it gather, so that makes things harder, but I need to have this one thing in common outside of having a kid if the friendship is going to last even a little bit.

I am so sorry about that… I have seen that and also like now that I’m trying to make new friends in a new area. I’m definitely looking for friends that have kids because people who don’t have kids don’t really understand and you can’t really do very much…

Do you guys check your partners monthly payslips/income?

If he had a £200 - £400 deduction on his payslip every month, would you notice it?

That £200-£400 is being forcibly removed from his wages like tax

Would you notice it?

The money is going to a woman who has a child with him which he abandoned and never met.
He was only using the woman for sex until she got pregnant and he disappeared.

In the UK, Child Maintenance Payments give the man an opportunity to respond to their phone calls and letters.

If that is ignored, they will forcibly remove take it from the man’s wages.

Why is this so hard?

Why is it so hard to try and make friends? It seems like any time I try to talk to someone my anxiety gets the best of me or people judge and look at me like im crazy. :( I just hate how hard it is to make friends.

Hi mamas, guess a vent and advice
My baby daddy and I arent together. Im due any day and he hasnt contributed to all the things ive needed to get for baby. Sent him a list of baby things we need in June already and he ke keeps saying he will send money next month. This month he said he doesnt have money he has alot going on but he hosted a party.

I can already tell getting monthly contribution will be an issue even though he said he would help. Mind you hes a data analyst at google and rents a few rooms at his house. I dont know what to do, i dont baby to have his surname cause i can see hes going to make things difficult, will this affect maintanance? Also at what stage do i take him to maintance office?
