Friends who dont get it

Alyssa

Anyone else going through the "first friend to have a baby" predicament? Im fairly young (20) and none of my friends are even close to being in the mindset of having children, even though most of them are in their mid-twenties to thirties. I definitely wasnt either before i got pregnant, so im not judging them by any means, but its kind of frustrating not being able to talk to them about this without feeling like theyre totally uninterested. I just want to share my excitement with the people i love most (which i know they are excited, just not to the level that someone who has been through this would be, you know?). I feel like i have all these bottled up excited emotions that just want to burst out all the time, but i also dont want to be that friend who can only talk about themselves and their baby, so ive just kind of been distancing from them a little bit, which bums me out. I love them so much, but i swear if they ask me one more time why i dont have the energy to "kick it" all day every day anymore, im gonna drop kick a bitch. They just dont get it! Anyone else in the same boat?
