Hey mums, would love to know your thoughts on this.
My husband recently said that he feels I use “parenting” as a crutch to not want to socialise. For context, my husband is part of a men’s group that meet up regularly. They’ve recently thought about adding ladies to this mix, and my hubby would like me to get involved. But the issue is, I don’t really want to.
I would much rather have one on one conversations with my friends or make new friends this way. Most of the people in this group aren’t parents; we’re the only ones with a toddler and ours is very active/clingy. The thought of going to a large event with barely any other little ones (if any) just makes me feel like I’m going to spend my time mainly looking after my child instead of socialising, so what’s the point?
Hubby thinks I’m not giving it a chance and just using that as an excuse to not want to socialise.
What do you think and is there any one else who can relate?
