Reluctant to post this as I know it makes me sounds like the worst person ever. But yet another friend announced her pregnancy this weekend and although I'm happy for her, I also have some unpleasant bitter feelings. If it was jealousy I'd at least understand my feelings, but I'm not jealous. I just find babies so dull. My best work friend is on mat leave. Lots of other friends are pregnant or have new babies, so all conversation and activities revolve around this. I'm not saying I want to go drinking every weekend, but I just want to go to nice restaurants or interesting places and talk about something else.
End of self-indulgent moan. I know it's awful, I'm just putting it here because I can't say it in real life. It probably means I need a change, a new job or new hobby or something, and I'm sure once I'm past 40 it'll stop. But does anyone else have a few days of feeling gloomy when another friend announces? How do you deal with it?
