feeling sad and looking for new friends

last week it was my daughters first birthday and i planned a birthday party with all our “close friends “ … sad to say but nobody showed up and i’ve lost friends over it because i had said it was unfair and it upset me. it’s hard enough being a mother but as you could imagine the feeling that i had for nobody showing up… i was extremely hurt and upset that it happened to my child and everyone’s excuses were that they just couldn’t be bothered :( It was a big deal for me as i think the first birthday is one of the most important birthdays and my child’s father isn’t involved at all. I’ve been there for these friends through thick and thin but it has always been one sided so it’s time for a change. I’m now looking for some new friends who will want to go out with us,or even come over and create positive supportive friendships. i’m based just outside of bristol airport. I don’t drive but am willing to travel :) please message if you would like to be friends. i can give you my socials 🥰. here’s to new beginning’s .

Show your support

This is horrible, I know what it feels like to be let down by friends. Happy to meet up, based in Bishopsworth xx

I haven’t had my baby yet, but I can sympathise with this as a few of my friends have shown that they just don’t care! I’m in Longwell Green, always happy to meet up! Message me privately if you like xx

That’s really unfair of your friends to do that to you and your daughter. Your daughter won’t remember her first birthday, you will and I’m so sorry that’s been tarnished for you. Me and my son don’t really go out as often as I would like so please feel free to pop me a message

I’m sorry to hear this, I’m going through something similar too.. lost my best friend and friendship group, all because one of the guys got a girlfriend and she obviously didn’t like me and had an issue with me so I got ditched from the group as everyone took her side, when I was the original member when it started years ago.. I honestly can’t be assed with the pettiness of it though, literally feels like drama at school and tbf they’re all quite a few years younger than me so they act like their age. I’m about to have my first baby and I just really missed having the support from friends throughout my pregnancy so it would be nice to make new friends as I just don’t know how to meet people and make friends these days! Like it’s so hard when you’re an adult? 😵‍💫 feel free to message me if you’d like, I live in cheddar so not too far

Would love to meet up also, my LG was 1 last month and would be great for her to meet new babies. I am working as well though so finding it tough to find available days/ times. North Bristol though.

I’m so sorry about that, that’s awful of your ‘friends’ to not turn up. I hope your daughter had a lovely birthday regardless, I’m sure she was more than happy to be spending the day with you more than anyone. Feel free to message I live on the other end of Bristol (Bradley Stoke) but can always meet in more central Bristol 💕 happy birthday to your little one 😌

That is so horrible I’m sorry you went through that! I’m so glad you cut these negative people out of your life tho! I’m based in Hartcliffe and happy to meet up and let our LG’s be friends 🥰

Hey! I’m in locking, Weston. My boy is nearly 10 months. I’m working so I don’t have a lot of free time but I do have abit in the week and Saturdays 🥰

Aww lovely I’m so sorry to hear this. I would love to be friends x

That's really sad of your friends. They aren't real friends if they couldn't be bothered to turn up to your daughter's 1st birthday party. That's such a special birthday party to have. Maybe you could arrange another one soon with everyone who has posted on here. I live near blaise castle. I'm 27 weeks pregnant, so, soon to be a first time mummy. But I can drive, and happy to meet up and be friends 😊
