I live with my partner, but we work opposite shifts as we have no family to help with childcare. I was so hopeful for the people that were excited for me, they called themselves aunties before he was even born but they never showed up.

I have tried to make friends in playgroups, and the mums at nursery, but none seem interested. It drives me mad that I don’t know why. The only person that has asked to meet up was a kids dad, and I didn’t trust their intentions. Anyway I’ll stop rambling on, thank you for replying to my thread.
