Lost friendships

Anyone else’s friends just seem to have fallen off the face of the earth since having 2 kids. When I had my first we still chatted and saw people regularly. Now my second is nearly 3 months old and someone I thought was my best friend just isn’t bothered about seeing us. when we make plans she cancels at the last minute this has happened on multiple occasions since baby number 2 was born and doesn’t offer up an alternative date she’s free. I don’t know if she thinks I’m too busy but I’m really not and she knows this as I’m on maternity leave. It just wasn’t like this when I had one baby and I’m wondering if I’ve offended her in some way.

Out of interest, does she have any children?

SAME. I have friends who know I’ve been on lesve and haven’t reached out and then when I do and we make plans they cancel every time. I think it shows you who really is there for you and who isn’t. It’s sad I’m Sorry you’re going through that

In the same boat & honestly thought maybe they are tied up in their own lives, making excuses but I think that maybe our friendships either aren't friendships anymore or aren't on the same level. We are in different stages of life but at the core, I'd still like to connect with people who knew me before I was a wife and mother.

@Rosa yes she also has a child too who’s just a couple of years older than my 1st

Same I don’t even talk to a half the people I used to talk to anymore. It’s lonely out here but I guess god is protecting my peace

Same. I keep saying im free and home all the time and that now im on maternity leave but there has been no interest. Maybe we’re just in different paths of life where we just cant relate or connect anymore. The people who I can relate to, other parents with babies, theyre just too busy as well.
