I have to say I do find it hard to meet up with other mums. None of my friends have children and you sort of lose touch what with working etc. I can't find ANY playgroups/toddler groups on a friday (my day off) so struggle a bit.
I was really suprised how 'competitive' parenthood has been and thought would get a more 'friendly' reaction from other mum's with little ones when out and about. I used to hate going into the change room after the feeding dd in Mothercare as I felt if I ever said hello or what a lovely baby etc etc I was looked at as if I had two heads!!
Ok when dd was tiny I prob looked like a loon with crazy hair, no makeup etc and no sleep but it has made me quite wary. I used to go to a group over by Sainsbury's in the scout hut on a tue when on maternity leave and some of the women were pretty scary and I am not one to be intimidated easily!
I have tried to develope a slightly thicker skin!!
