I am a mother of a 3 year old daughter. I had my daughter kind of late in life. The majority of my friends have children, and most of them had their children when they were a lot younger. I was always the one friend who didn't have any kids. Now that I am a mother a lot of those friends I don't really see anymore because we all move on in life. I don't have many friends in general but the ones that I do have either don't have kids or their children are a lot older than my daughter so it doesn't really work out quite the same way.
It's always just my boyfriend, our daughter, and I. Which is great but at the same time it would be nice to have friends that had children, especially closer in age to my daughter. It's a win win for everybody, the kids get to play together and so do the adults. I also feel like I'm craving having another mom around just so I can have someone to relate to. I've struggled with adjusting to motherhood and it would be nice to have someone close to me that's going through this journey as well.
I can be kind of socially awkward as well and it can take a little bit for me to loosen up with people so making friends for me isn't that easy, unless I'm drinking then I can make friends with anyone lol
We barely go out anywhere and when we do we're not the type of people to go and talk to anybody. I just want some "couple" friends or just mom friends, I'm happy either way.
How the heck do I go about making "mom friends"?!.. I'm so lame! lol
