And how often do you speak to them?
A lot of my friends that I've known since before kids I message every couple of weeks and the messages go back and forth slowly, a bit like emails. Just updates on how we are. Then we go for coffee individually every now e.g. every couple of weeks for different individuals and then a bigger group meet up for dinner maybe 5 times a year. Few of them have kids though and the ones who do I was less close to initially and Ive found we are all quite different since having kids.
I have started getting more new mum friends locally since having my almost 2 year old and they are people I see now again in the park, playground or at groups. I dont really message any of them on a daily basis or talk about intimate stuff unless it's kid related in person.
I was thinking that I dont really have a best friend. It's DH! I was curious how common this is. Do you have friends that you chat to every day about all sorts? I dont have anyone I just call up for a chat or moan at.
I feel like I'm very much in the family bubble. I dont mind, just curious to what others have. I think covid obviously hasn't helped any of this.
