Have changed nickname as feel a bit daft posting this but just wanted your views!
Is there anyone else who doesn't have any real close friends?
I mean I have lots of friends (well maybe 5 or 6) who I can phone up and visit with the kids or text or have a moan to, but no one really close for gossip or girly nights out.
When I have nights out it's always with DH or DH and other couples.
I had two really close friends but one moved away and one had a baby and doesn't go out anymore.
I'm not lonely, I have a lovely DH and two DS's and my lovely mum and sister to talk to if I need to but everyone I know seems to have a special friend who practically lives at their house, who is like family and who they can rely on.
All my friends now are my kids friends mums, who are great, but we're not exceptionally 'close' (although I can always have a moan to them, ask them to have the kids in emergencies etc).
Anyone else feel like this? Is it normal as you get older?
I really don't mean to moan, I know I am very lucky, I just feel that something is 'missing'.
