Can we talk about how hard it actually is to make mum friends?

Getting caught up in busy life. It helps when your kids have similar interests and ages so you have a way to sync schedules

I find it hard to approach people because of the bad friendships I had in the past

It is SO hard!

Luckily I’ve made a friend from my little girls old school. We text now & then and we meet up with the baby’s occasionally (we have little boys 3 weeks apart).

Sometimes I can be socially awkward so I find it hard to make the first move and I’m terrible at making conversation.
And then I find it hard to keep the friendship going because I feel like i’m annoying texting them. But I think I need to learn to just keep going on and to stop feeling like that otherwise I’ll never have any friends and being a mum can be so lonely especially when the older kids are in school.

I’m literally at home everyday but it would be lush to have some mum friends to text or to meet for coffees etc!❤️❤️

i think the hardest part for me is finding another mom that can match the state of motherhood you’re in. Not saying moms with kids in different age ranges can’t work bc they definitely can and do!! but for example..i’m in the newborn phase right now and i can be having a really great conversation and my bby will need me and i’ll honestly get so caught up in that to where i’ll forget to reply for hours sometimes a day or more i feel so bad about it 😭

Personally I live in a small town and have health problems that make getting out that often physically painful, but I have one actual friend from this app, we keep a streak on Snapchat to prove we're alive and we occasionally chat about random stuff

Let’s chat ! 🤍☺️

The biggest issue I’ve found is that people can’t be bothered putting in effort or going out of their way. A lot of people complain about how hard it is but then don’t reply, hold conversations or are selfish. It’s the saying everyone wants a village but don’t want to be a villager and it’s draining for those of us that constantly give 🥹

Y he hardest thing for me is simply I was the one always reaching out...i think we all have time,we just don't make the time regardless of how busy life is.
