I don't know if it's just me but since lockdown has eased I've been feeling really rusty socialising wise.
I'm on mat leave at the mo with a 9 month old and a 3 year old but I find if I set up play dates with more acquaintance type mums that I feel really rubbish at it and like I'm really boring.
I do find it hard to concentrate with the little ones around. But also think I've just become a bit of a shit socialiser. I have my core group of mum friends that I can be myself around without worry but it's the "acquaintance" or "could become friends" ones that I'm rubbish with. Like the chat doesn't always flow, I'm not always concentrating (because of the kids, or making tea etc.). It's just making feel a bit crap about myself.
