After having kids, my social life was definitely put up on the top shelf where even I (at 5'10") can't reach it. Time with friends became far and few inbetween. I can't remember the last time I had a girls' night out.
Today was one of those days that I felt like one of the last friend relationships I feel like I have has fallen apart. Since going through her own life changes, I've suddenly been kicked to the curb. Maybe that wasn't her intention. Maybe she doesn't even realize she's done it. Or maybe she thinks I have enough on my plate already. Sometimes
Perhaps the answer for me is to join a playgroup or maybe even start one. This way we can go through life's ups and downs together -- and understand where we're all coming from since we're going through this journey of motherhood together.
You know, I have thought about this a lot too. I think especially since I am at home and do \not get much adult interaction! Being a Mom is one if not the greatest thing on earth. BUT, it can be a very lonely place!
ReplyDeleteHang in there! A playgroup is a GREAT idea! You should do it! I would like to find one around here to go to as well.
