After having children, do you feel like you’ve lost your friends that don’t have kids yet?

Question

Answer

Yes. I think it’s hard for my child-less friends to understand why I don’t have any free time anymore. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I also think we’re in different phases of life and don’t share a lot in common right now.

Answer

I wouldn’t say lost them but our relationship has definitely changed

Answer

No but I'm pretty introverted regardless and didn't go out a lot anyways so all my friends without kids totally get it because it's not like I hella did stuff before 😂😂

Answer

I don’t have any friends besides a cpl cousins and my sil. They’ve all had kids for years before me.

Answer

Yes, I definitely did. Also realizing the friends I did have who have kids were and probably still are shitty parents.

Answer

I'm the childless friend until August 😁.. all my friends except one has faded out since they had children nd I wouldnt say it's because of me I just know all the free time goes to raising your child,. My bestfriend even though we talk EVERYDAY we dont hang out as much. I get it though.. I cant wait until my little king comes nd take all my free time 🥰

Answer

All except for 2. But the relationship with them changed. I always thought they looked down on me for having become a mom so young (I was 21. I’m 30 now) but just recently I realized it wasn’t that. They thought I was ahead of them and they couldn’t keep up with me anymore. It made me feel sad and relieved at the same time...

Answer

I’d say I’ve lost more friends that are parents but who’s patently styles are the opposite to ours, than friends who don’t have kids

Answer

Yes and no. Some of my friends I actually see more often than my friends with babies as they have more flexibility to come to me. I can put my LO to bed and they can come over and we can have dinner or movie night.

Answer

lol what friends? 
No but really, I feel like I lost the friends that had kids more so than the ones that don’t (and I have kids myself) I guess it’s just a huge shift in priorities & then of course their husbands become their “first go-to” person over their friends for everything 🤷‍♀️
