I'm 35 and had my first baby in September. In spite of my age, I am the first of my friends to have a baby. A couple of close friends said they may look to TTC in a year or two, the rest are firmly child free. I feel so lonely. My friends are genuinely nice people but my life is completely different to theirs and I have no one to talk to. Christmas has highlighted this as all our friends hosted various meet ups etc but they're all v late and boozy and no one was available for a catch up in the day at all. Baby is breastfed and goes to bed around 7-8pm so we couldn't join any evening stuff. So it's just been me and DH, which is lovely but also hard.
AIBU to think I was an idiot investing in friendships with women who are not interested in children? Or will this get better as my baby grows older?
I'm trying hard with the mum coffee groups and while everyone is lovely, no one seems interested in anything outside the groups.
I just want a few people to relate to, day to day. Not even a moan, just people whose lives are similar to mine. Anyone else find themselves in this situation? Where do I go from here? I'm genuinely just so unbelievably lonely. DH's family is large but none of them are close to each other. I'm an immigrant so I have no family here.
