Evening all!
Just wanted a little bit of advice as I feel a little bit disappointed....
I’ve had my babies in lockdown and it’s lovely as we are now starting to go out and do things as a family.
As I’m older, a couple of friends who have older children don’t really seem interested in my children (which is fine, I understand)
Before covid and before I had the babies, I used to make a massive effort with my friends kids. I was really close to my friends too (think picking up from nursery for them, going to birthday parties, soft play etc etc)
The thing that I’m feeling a little deflated about is that I have a few friends who have babies around my kids age and now that I’ve had mine, no one seems to care. I know life has changed and covid has happened but I don’t even get a message to wish my babies a happy birthday from them!
Just found out that one of them had a party and we didn’t even get an invite!
The mum even lied to me and said that she wasn’t doing anything!
I haven’t done anything wrong that I can think of and it always me that send the first message ie ‘how are you today? Etc. I can understand that people are doing their own thing and that’s ok but I just feel we are getting left out on purpose of meet ups, play dates and parties.
I think the point that I’m trying to say is that does anyone else feel guilty about people not bothering with your children because they have been in lockdown all this time? I just feel a little hurt as for all these years I’ve made a massive effort and now that I have my own children, no one seems to care
Sorry for the long post
