I have a female friend who recently became a mum. We have seen each other for several times since the child was born, the child is now a few months old. She knows since way back that Iīm not that interested in kids and that I probably donīt want to have kids.
She now told me she doesnīt think Iīm interested or engaged enough in her child and by that she doesnīt want to meet with me. She hasnīt told me yet she doesnīt want to be friends anymore but when I told her I canīt pretend to be more interested in her child than I actually am she didnīt know how we could continue to see each other.
She seems to demand some kind of "lowest level" of engagement into her child and she doesnīt seem to think we can still hang out as two adults. She lives together with the childsī father and by that she has a baby-sitter if she wants to go to a movie or something like that.
I have showed interest in her and her child, like talking about the birth of the child and so on but she wants me to "get to know" her child, to look at it more and I really donīt have that big interest in her child to do that.
From my point of view I think she has to respect that Iīm not that into kids and she also has several other friends who are more interested in kids and to associate around kids.
Anyone else who experienced this?
