Mom friends

I’m socially awkward which doesn’t help but I’ve come to the realization that I need more mom friends.

What sucks though is that the women I know have littles. I don’t. I have an 11 year old. I can’t relate to them... I haven’t done the baby/toddler thing in so long that I’m just used to dealing with the struggles and the life of a preteen. They can’t relate to me either because they haven’t gotten that far yet.

Last night, we were at a friends house for a little get together. There were about 6 kids in total. 2 of them were a year old and the others were about 3 & 4. The kids were all running around screaming and playing. One of the moms said to me “you’re the lucky one not having to chase these kids.” The reality of it is, my SO and I have been TTC for 2 years and are raising my 11 year old. I spent most of the evening with the guys in the garage (my son was with my mom for the night) while the moms and kids were in the house.

I felt bad that I separated myself but they are all in the medical field and talk about their jobs and the littles. I have a government job so that’s another thing I can’t relate to. They all know the same people, I don’t. I just feel so alone sometimes. I know it’s my fault for separating myself from them but I just relate to the guys more especially to my SO and his buddy that does have a son about my sons age.

I don’t know if I’m looking for advice, support, whatever but maybe I’m just venting. ☹️

I’m at a loss and just wish I had female friends I could relate to.
