Ending childhood friendships
Show your support
So sad could you not speak to them first.. I don’t think I was that much it a good friend to my friends with kids when I didn’t have them as I didn’t understand as much as I do now.. xx
Good for you 🙌🏼 as hard as it is you deserve better friends
That makes me so sad for you and I completely understand wanting to end those friendships. Just because they don’t want children doesn’t mean they can’t be there for their friend who has a child. Especially since mothers are most neglected immediately after they give birth. If they really cared about you, especially since you’ve all been friends since childhood, they would be there for you. How inconsiderate. Even if they were staying physically away because maybe they wanted to give you space with your new baby, they should still ask how you and the baby are doing and ask if you need anything.
I’m
It’s very sad, but you did the right thing. Unfortunately during the biggest milestones in life like having a baby, etc, you truly find out who your true friends are. I’m sorry girl, but you will find the true friendships!
My two best friends do not yet have children, not necessarily never going to though, but my boy is now 19 months and they've only met him twice. We have however met various times without him for meals on an evening for example, which I have definitely appreciated for a bit of me time. I have also made new mum friends for baby play dates etc. Best of both worlds. I completely get it, I feel like they have no interest, but I can't say I was much different before having my boy, so don't rush into cutting them off, just change the dynamics. Meet them for non baby catch ups if you can, but find mum friends.
I totally understand this, my friends are also assholes! I swear
