I've got a new friend group who have either 1 kid thats around 3 or a couple kids that are older whereas I have a 1 year old and a 2 year old. Whenever there's say about a meet up I spend the entire time running after my kids (as I should) and don't get to talk much and it's exhausting. I'm so tired, I keep trying to keep up, go out when they do but I spend the entire time stressed and feeling left out (not their fault). I kind of miss before I was in the friend group when I had my scheduled days out a few times a week with the babies and I spent my entire time thinking of them and now my stupid brain wants to go talk to adults but still have to play with babies. I love my kids and this is making me feel really bad that I don't want to spend the time with them. Having friends is good but I just miss the way it was before, my brain just won't stop not wanting to be included.

We used to take in turns to meet round each other's houses it was much more relaxed and didnt have to worry to much about the kids and running after them. Could you maybe suggest that?
Looking for a mom bestie š„¹š Someone to do playdates with, have mom talks, grab coffee, and just genuinely vibe with! No judgment, just good energy & friendship . Iām also down to have long distance friends as well!

I have mum friends that have older kids and we have a group chat which we talk in, send insta or TikTok videos all the time and it seems to have died down!!
Life happens I know and stuff and I am very sensitive but sometimes I donāt get replied to but then they have conversations not acknowledging what Iāve said.
Should I women up or am I valid??
