Hi
I'm 21 and have a 2 year old son and another on the way.
I lost touch with all my friends when my son was born, babies don't inetrest most 18 year olds.
There are loads of young mums near me but I don't bother with any of them as they are all very chavvy stupid girls in tracksuits and fitted caps that had babies so they can claim child benifit and get a couincl flat.
The thing I find the hardest is I can't get on with the young mums around here but the older mums don't really want to speak to me maybe because they think I will be the same as the other young mums around here.

i have plenty of younger mums that i talk to so dont think all older mums are like that i thought that when i took my ds to pre school as all mums are older but i smile say hi and gradually we talk more

not many mum friends outside of pre school all my friends with children have moved away so only speak on phone

mums at pre school arent really friends either as we only have small talk but at least its adult conversation

Hi im 26 and pg with dc4, my dd's are 6,3 and 7 months. I guess im not so young anymore but was young when i started my family

By noahsmummy12 on Tue 13-May-08 21:24:07

i just want to clarify that i would love to meet and make friends with mums of any age, i was just interested in wether mums my age are in the minority these days. hmm

By oliviaelanasmum on Tue 13-May-08 21:40:07

When i was in hospital having dd1 i was definately in the minority but at the local school i would say its a fairly even split.

By noahsmummy12 on Tue 13-May-08 21:48:51

my son is only 6 months old tho so its a while till i can meet mums at school

By bubblagirl on Wed 14-May-08 12:22:04

well i have messenger we could always talk through there

i live in essex so not so close to meet up but also want mums of all ages to talk to

im still young at heart dont look or act my age and im very honest friendly and love being a mummy

but also love just being me sometimes and would love to have more friends to talk with or go out with

I'm 22 and have a 13 month old and another one on the way. I still have most of my friends but they sometimes don't understand why I can't just come to the pub at the drop of a hat anymore.

By candyfluff on Wed 14-May-08 14:26:53

i had my 1st son aged 18,my 2nd aged 21 and my 3rd aged 26.
i know what its like to be a young mum,its harder than i ever thought it would be.
i made lots of new friends at a local mother and toddler group as like you said nearly all my school friends from school still to this day and im 28 now still have yet to get married or have kids so i feel well old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]
For a sceptical face,

, type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
