So maybe I am just filling pity for myself, but lately I have noticed that all my "childless" friends have disappeared. Since the birth of my son my friends without children seem to have other priorities. There lives are so busy and preoccupied with other things... Maybe its that I cant go and do the things they want to do because I have my son and therefore they don't invite. Either way, they have all become distant. One thing I can say is that I know I have tried to send out invitations to hang out, and that is all I can do. Its not so bad hanging out with my son and husband!
This is not to say that my friends with children have disappeared also- because they haven't. Maybe its that they understand how it is. I don't get it. I prayed to God last night that I could be understanding about this topic, and to lift my heart from the sadness. It is just sad to know that the people who I was once SUPER close with have all taken there own paths in life and along the way they put me at the bottom of there priority list.
Maybe its just a part of parenthood that I wasn't prepared for and didnt expect, however, it still makes me sad.
K.. I got sad when I read this post. I am sorry if I am one of the "friends" that you feel have dissapeared. Girl, I am still here. You are always welcome to our house, with Liam... and yes our lives may be a little different because your a mom, and I'm not, but that does not in any way change how much I care about you. I try to make it a point to call you and see how you are doing. I guess on the other end, I feel like you are so busy now with more important things to do!Sometimes life just happens, and distance is created because things just change from time to time. When the weather gets warmer we can have BBQ's. Love ya girl! B
