How important are friends to you after becoming a parent?

Question

Answer

Friends? What’s that?

Answer

Seems I lost all my friends after becoming a mum 🤷🏻‍♀️ who would’ve thought it was so hard to make new friends as an adult, I honestly feel so out of place most of the time😂 
I’ll just carry on watching the same crappy daytime tv for now though haha

Answer

Honestly, seeing them and going out with them as much as I used to is not as important to me… But knowing they are there for support and sometimes to be social, has helped me get back to who I really am underneath being a mother. Sometimes being a mom takes you over completely… I am grateful for my friends for helping me to remember that I had an identity before I became a mom.￼ having them in my life has helped me keep in touch with that part of myself. So I find it pretty important.￼

Answer

I really rely on my friends as a sounding board and support as I navigate new motherhood. I may not see them as much, but checking in by call or text is so important to me. 
It also helps that basically it’s baby season with my friends group, so we all have babies or young kids. Play dates are actually coffee dates for the mamas 😝

Answer

I have always had a small, but dedicated group of friends. They are just as important now as they were before baby, we just see each other a little less often. It makes it easier that we all have kids, though, because we are all sort of on the same page about activities.
