I've posted about this before but find it so hard. Before I had kids, I had friends and a good job (still have) but I'm the main breadwinner of the,family so I now do 5 days in 4. I spent my latter mat leave ( I have 3 children now) really trying o make an effort and get out there and while the mums I used to speak to still smile and ay hello, it's never got beyond that. For eg, took my son to a club today for easter, two mums I've spoken to started chatting and acted as if I wasn't there. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. It's felt like an uphill struggle and I don't see it getting much better. A lot of my best friends have moved abroad or south of the border and sometimes I wish I could move but DH doesn't want to move the children. Don't know if I'm being paranoid but I feel I am that person everyone tries to body swerve! I was popular at uni but now I feel I am a shadow of my former self. What am I doing wrong?
