Hi everyone,
I just want to get some advice on whether iabu or how to approach this with my friends.
We have all had babies within a few months of each other which is amazing and are all subsequently on mat leave together. We are first time mums, my baby is the youngest. I am finding it quite easy to get out and about and really don't want to be sat at home all day with my baby. I envisioned us all meeting up at least once a fortnight for coffee etc and truth is we've barely seen each other at all. I know people all are different when they have children but I feel I'm the only one suggesting plans and sometimes my messages are completely ignored or they flake out last minute. I have driven an hour to see them and they don't stay long and it's starting to really get to me. I really cherish these friendships and I'm starting to wonder if I should bother. I had to ask one friend if she would come and meet my baby as she made no effort to initiate this even though I saw all their little ones when heavily pregnant and made a huge fuss. I don't want to be rude to them or not be understanding if they are finding it harder than me but is it really unreasonable to think going for a walk and a coffee for an hour isn't that difficult?!
