Socialising with younger, childless people
Show your support
100% relate. I have a mix of people on my team from alsorts of ages/backgrounds and I generally gravitate towards the older ones who have kids haha! I get on with everyone, but just feel I can socialise better with the older ones who have/had kids! X
I’m actually one of the younger ones in my work force, a lot of them have had kids too, but I still feel so lost right now 😥 I feel like I don’t know where I belong now I’m not at home with baby every day. Hope we find it gets better soon x
Not work but with my friends, I’m the only one that has a baby so I feel like they all have this life that I left behind over a year ago and I just feel left behind I guess
@Leanne Thats exactly how I’m feeling. Having such an identity crisis too. It’s so horrible
100% relate Finding the whole back to work thing tough… even though only gone back part time The mum guilt is real😫
@Steph I feel like I used to be able to mix with the younger ones so much more before I left. And now that I’ve had a baby I can FEEL that I’m 10 years older than them and relate more to the older gen with kids. Making me feel like I’ve aged 10 years!
Yeah I totally get that. Was in hospitality for a while and all the staff were super young students. Felt like a relic being one of the oldest 😂. I’ve not long changed career though, now work at home alone doing graphic design xD much prefer my little herm life and spending time with my son instead!
Kinda similar, my work have just made me feel like I’m completely irrelevant after having a child 🤣 I guess our priorities change when we have them, I’d love to be in the little oasis too. It will get better xxx
