To find hanging out with friends with babies boring !

[Lardlizard]

We’d going for a pub lunch with a friend who has a 10month old
I know it snean as we all go though This stage but I just prefer age 2 plus so better bear with
You just can’t have proper convos
We do do stuff in the evenings with out the kids
Mine are at school
But she wants to meet up as she wants to get out in the day more
Tbh it’s a very easy going lovely baby
I just find it bloody dull
And would rather just see the friend

I'm really surprised at all the people calling you a bad friend op.
I mean seriously babies are boring and as much as I love my dc, I always did my best to not talk about babies
With friends.

If you don't want to meet her with her baby don't go. You are being unreasonable if you expect her to meet up without the baby if she doesn't feel comfortable doing that yet.

and let her go with a friend who doesn't find her baby "bloody dull".

That's a tall order! Surely everyone finds babies dull, don't they? What you probably mean is to find someone who would be prepared to put up with it for the sake of the friendship (I'm not sure I would be one of them).

No, actually. Some adults do actually like babies and children. My best friend has 2 baby nieces, is godparent to a toddler and teaches primary. She recently visited for 2 days and happily sat with my DS on her lap in a café.

I'm not a huge fan of small children (my DS is 6 and I find him so much easier now) but I don't mind babies at that age. Much prefer it to the toddler age where they're running all over the place.

I really struggled when DS was a baby and I appreciated any adult time I could get so I think YABU a bit. I'd suck it up and just be a good friend.

I’ve suggested a walk inthe park and and drink after
Which is going to be much better than lunch

A 2yr old will interupt your conversation much more than a baby

I love seeing my friend and 8 month old. It definitely isn't boring and it gives her adult company and a bit of a break from being the entertainer.

Did your friends feel like this when your dc were this age? 🙄

Well I prefer age 4 plus but 2/3 is much better than baby
